Law of the Splintered Paddle by Carl F. K. Pao
“The work itself is the actual words of Kamehamehaʻs famous and enduring the Law of the Splintered Paddle. The geometric shapes are both the positive and negative spaces of the abstracted Hawaiian words/letters of his proclamation. The choice of red and yellow signify the colors of the ali’i and their mana and kuleana.” – Carl F.K. Pao
