WAI PUA LEHUA
Drawn to its sweet nectar, the manu hovers above the ‘ōhiʻa lehua as the honeybee moves from blossom to blossom. The lehua waits, lashes tipped in red, nectar pooling in its heart. Each petal the maka lehua, beauty in bloom, radiant as youth, like the dawn breaking over the horizon.
Wai Pua Lehua is a story of exchange. The lehua drinks of the Kanilehua rains, soaking in rich nutrients as it blossoms and grows. The ʻiʻiwi dips its curved beak into the lehua, drinking in its fragrant delight, the bees move with quiet purpose, transforming the nectar into luscious honey. What is gathered is given, what is offered is received. Wai Pua Lehua is patterned as a reflection of cycles. It moves with the shifting light—ano kakahiaka, the cool breath of morning, ano ahiahi, the golden edge of day’s descent. The lehua turns, facing the sun, rising from the horizon. Its petals press forward, the moment before bloom, the cusp of becoming.
This design is a contemporary iteration in this time and space, that embodies the interlocking relationships of life: that which gives and that which receives. A pattern of inspiration, of attraction, of transformation. Manaola invites you to partake of this delectable design, Wai Pua Lehua, the sweetness of life.
