ʻUku ʻĀkoʻakoʻa Hua Dress-Cloud/Blue Bell/Dresden Blue

ʻUku ʻĀkoʻakoʻa

The Kumulipo documents the creation of Hawaiʻi.  Beginning in the dark, life is born in stages.  “Hānau ka uku koʻakoʻa, hānau kana, he ʻākoʻakoʻa, puka…”  Line fifteen describes the birth of the coral, one of the first to be born in Hawaiʻi.  The ʻākoʻakoʻa is the foundation to the islands.    

At Koʻolau Poko the coral flats are favorite grounds for heʻe.  It is there that my father taught us to look for the octopus hiding in the coral rubble.  This art, coral fragments, reminds me of the grounds where my father took us.
