Ho’i ka wai — restore the waters. For Maui.
“Ola i ka wai a ka ‘opua” There is life in the water of the ‘opua (cumulus) clouds. This is my second image for the kia’i wai, the water protectors.

Aloha ʻāina means love of the land. But it also speaks to the responsibilities of a loving relationship, the need to tend and respect, and to ensure that this place is properly cared for and managed.
