Title: Midnight Rains in Manoa
About the artwork: One of my favorite memories growing up in Hawai’i was lying in my bed at night and listening to the rain sweep down the valley and bring with it the fresh smells of jungle flowers. Recently while on a trip back home, we went hiking and the sun set faster than expected, we walked the last quarter mile home through the dripping trees with a flash light in the near pitch black. Somehow though it felt like if I just closed my eyes I would be a young child again half asleep in my bed.
