SUMMARY:Hawaiki to Hawai’i:  A glass exhibition about a time when natu
 re held the power by artist Daniel Moe
DESCRIPTION:January 10th - Feb 15\, 2026\, Daily 9am -5pm at Volcano Art
  Center Gallery in Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park. Join Volcano Art c
 enter in a journey through time\, honoring the experience of the first p
 eople who voyaged from Hawaiki (Tahiti) to Hawaiʻi over a thousand year
 s ago. Through blown\, sculpted\, and hand-carved glass\, Daniel Moe exp
 lores the rich symbolism and sacred imagery of Polynesian culture—draw
 ing from traditional Marquesan\, Samoan\, Tahitian\, Hawaiian\, and Māo
 ri designs.  Daniel’s work features iconic symbols and forms reminisc
 ent of objects\, tools\, and vessels essential to early voyagers and se
 ttlers: fish hooks that sustained life\, poi pounders that shaped commun
 ity\, sailing canoes that braved vast oceans\, calabash inspired vessel
 s\, and tattoo and kapa inspired designs.  He incorporates representa
 tions of revered animals found on the journey\, and upon arrival in Hawa
 i'i\, such as turtles\, birds\, sharks\, and whales\, alongside navigati
 onal signs—the stars\, sun\, ocean swells\, and cloud formations—all
  guiding these wayfinders on their sacred journey to their new place. Ad
 ditional elements include traditional agricultural staple foods like kal
 o\, that sustained the people and shaped their relationship with the lan
 d. Protective/warrior symbols appear\, reflecting the balance between su
 rvival and spirituality. The tattoo patterns etched into the glass evoke
  the deeply personal and cultural markings that connect individuals to t
 heir ancestry\, beliefs in spirit\, and the natural world. This collecti
 on honors the sacred relationship early Hawaiians held with the land (�
 �āina)\, the sea (moana)\, and the sky (lani)—a time when nature itse
 lf was the ultimate source of power and reverence\, before the rise of c
 hiefs and kingdoms\, and the times of war. Through glass\, a medium born
  of fire and transformation\, Daniel seeks to capture the fluidity\, str
 ength\, and spirituality of this ancestral voyage.\nThis body of work in
 vites all viewers—regardless of background—to remember our shared or
 igin and reawaken our direct connection to the sacred power of nature\, 
 and our collaboration and connection to one another. It is a call to rec
 ognize that the same elemental forces that guided the ancestors still fl
 ow through us today\, binding us across time\, place\, and culture. An o
 pening reception will be held on Saturday\, January 10th from 2-4pm at V
 olcano Art Center Gallery.  For more information call (808) 967-7565.
