Kawika Sheer is a "son of Oahu". As a kama'aina (local), he takes
special care to ask permission and give thanks to the land, sea,
heavens, aumakua, and mana present in the area where these
artistically spiritual performances take place; if it doesn't feel
right, he's done for the night. The Hawaii state motto reads, "The
life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness"; and hopefully,
Kawika's unique style of performance-art photography evokes this
sentiment.
