KUMU HULA
DIGITAL PRINT
Twelve female hula dancers are shown in a kneeling position, heads held in revenant positioning. The alignment of the twelve hula dancers is unifying as it provides a clear linear movement for the viewer. The use of color also creates a narrative of native Hawiian textile use and the historic importance of said garments. The overall work provides the viewer with peace and tranquility though the lines and colors used.
