In 2025, my amazing team and I completed my largest commission to date—a custom Hitching Post installation for Nobu restaurant at the Grand Wailea Resort on Maui.
Titled Kua Nalu Hitching Post (“cresting wave” in Hawai’ian), the piece spans 14 x 233 feet and wraps the full perimeter of the restaurant—3,262 sq ft of artwork, created on-site in nine days. For someone who grew up on the islands, this work feels like coming home.
