Thank you!

I would consider myself a fairly modest person but I’d like to take a second to pat myself on the back for this one. From all the firsts ( using a grid instead of projecting, scaffolding, RAIN, SO MUCH RAIN☔️) to then have the wall get so water logged that I had to repaint certain areas. I still managed to get it done in 7 days (I was however up on the scaff 2 hours before I had to fly home 😂) with all that being said, I literally could not have done it without the amazing amount of support and hugs I was getting from the community of Wailuku, @pangeaseed @seawalls_ team and specifically a few of the other artists @artworkofkai @crackedink @underwoodalexandra @joeyrosestudio @lttlelttle @hanowksi @techs_x @daizeymama @themaryiverson 🙌🏽😭😭🙌🏽 you guys are the best!!! This project has inspired me in my art practice and my life, alll the Mahalos to everyone involved ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

“Nāmakaokahaʻi” by supporting ARTivist @laurenbrevner (Canada) for @pangeaseed Foundation latest edition of our international public art movement, @seawalls_ Artists for Oceans.
.
Location: Wailuku, Maui | Mauka to Makai
.
Swipe 👈🏽 for finished mural and detail photos.
.
Artist statement: “Inspired by Hawaiian mythology, I choose to represent the topic of overfishing with my interpretation of the sea goddess Nāmakaokahaʻi.
.
Her waters are seen as empty and lacking life, this visual combined with a limited palette emphasizes a loss of color and vibrancy that our oceans once had.
.
Highlighting a netted parrotfish (a species that is integral to the protection of coral reef health) which are severely overfished in Hawaii is another reminder of the many ways overfishing has an impact on our oceans.
.
As an ARTivist it was very important to me to create a piece that was visually engaging, easy to understand and positive while still carrying a clear message.”
.
Thank you to our project partners, @countyofmaui @smalltownbigart @lushcosmetics @fromthebowseat @patagonia @pacificwhalefoundation @hpbaldwinhs @volcom @volcomhawaii_ @montanacans @behrpaint @coral_org @sustainablecoastlineshawaii, @start_streetartoronto, the Johnson Ohana Foundation, and more.
