On the Kalaupapa peninsula on the island of Moloka‘i, designer David Shepard, was inspired by the living tapestry of native Hawaiian plants hugging the coastal jet-black lava rock in swatches of bright silvery greens.
He created this design as a lasting testament to the beauty of not only its native Hawaiian landscape but also its history of human endurance and compassion in the face of daunting circumstances. This place and design are a reminder that beauty arises out of contrast and that depth is born from meaning.
The central element of this design is the white Puakala native Hawaiian poppy flower. A thorny flower that thrives among the windswept lava rock and sea spray of the Kalaupapa peninsula.
