Waialua Welcomes 48 Sculptures Honoring Water Guardian Laniwahine
Forty-eight sculptures now rise from the ruins of a 1930s pavilion at Haleʻiwa Beach Park, the final stop for a citywide art project that spent nearly two years tracing Oʻahu's hidden histories back to the surface. The City and County of Honolulu Mayor's Office of Culture and the Arts opened the installation last Friday, closing out a series that began at Fort Street Mall in downtown Honolulu. Carved by artists Amber Khan and Jordan Souza, the sculptures tell the story of Laniwahine, an aliʻi moʻo described as a shape-shifting water guardian who guards and sustains the ʻUkoʻa and Loko Ea fishponds of Waialua.
