Description
This image was taken several decades ago using Kodak film.
This sail sculpture on the Big Island of Hawaii is more aptly described on the blog post https://www.hawaiilife.com/blog/secret-behind-waikoloas-sail-structure/
Some quotes from the blog:
“The landmark was built around 1970 in the shape of an old-fashioned canoe sail, representing the ocean and sky.”
“Its spectacularly modern yet sensitive adaptation of native Hawaiian forms – the heiau, the lele, the wa’a – is a tribute to Ossipoff’s sensitivity to and understanding of the Hawaiian way of being, of aloha aina.”
