Muku

0.0 x 0.0

Muku is a Hawaiian name. Muku is associated with cessation or severance. This painting is of the sunset which means that this day is ending (ceasing). The ancient Hawaiians believed in the antithesis between sea and land….Imagination played with mythical conceptions of the earth and heaven and night and day…(Po) belonged to the night and was the periods of the gods, day (Ao) was that of mankind. I was inspired to paint this wave because I love the ocean and it almost feels magical at sunset as the day turns to the night. The Hawaiians considered sunset a spiritual shift with the changing between the time of the gods and the time of mankind.
