Subject: Inspired by the natural erosion caused by wind, rain and the ocean along the island of 

Oahu’s southeast shore. Along this coast is an intriguing geographical spot known as "Halona Blowhole." The blowhole is a natural occurrence formed by molten lava tubes from volcanic eruptions thousands of years ago. The lava tubes run to the ocean and, when the surf is right, the blowhole shoots water up to 30 feet in the air. The larger the waves, the larger the spray.
