Aloha Blaze, 2024

Wood, Rocks, Flowers, Leis

Rooted in Polynesian culture, Hawaiian campfires have long served as sacred spaces where family and friends gather to share tales of mythology and personal experiences. Music, often accompanied by ukulele and guitar, fills the air as voices unite in song and traditional hula dancing brings movement to the night. Beyond the warmth of the fire, these gatherings foster a deep connection to nature, allowing participants to immerse themselves in the beauty of Hawaii's lush surroundings. “Aloha Blaze” draws inspiration from the rich history of Hawaiian campfires, encapsulating centuries-old traditions of storytelling, music, and community bonding against the backdrop of the islands' breathtaking natural landscapes.
