String Figure "Two Eyes," made on all Hawaiian islands, called Koko o Makali'i (calabash net of Makali'i), at Kona, Hawaii, and Papio-maka-nui (papio fish with big eyes), on all Hawaiian Islands

This image is a composite of the string figure with the sand and clouds of Lumahai Beach on the north shore of Kauai. The marriage of figure and elements of nature reflect that aspect of the Ancient Art of Hawaiian String Figures that captivates both the eye and the mind. As you look through the string and see the merged images of sand and clouds respond to the messages that come through your intuition and imagination. Perhaps you journey into that part of the universe known as The Pleiades which is another name for this string figure. Just what is the magic that this image reveals to you?
