Hawaiian legends tell the stories of Kamapua‘a, a kolohe (mischievous) pig kupua (demi-god) who takes on many forms at will. A shapeshifter, he appears one moment as a handsome man, the next a pua‘a (pig), and the next as an ‘ama‘u tree fern. Masculine, bold, untamed, sensual. In folklore, he was successful against all odds at whatever he set his mind to achieve.
Associated with the makahiki season, agriculture, and fruitfulness. He is best known for his tempestuous and fiery relationship with the volcano goddess Pele. His adventurous spirit represents some of the best and worst in us. This print represents two of his kinolau (physical manifestations).
