About this poster
Hawaiʻi Volcanoes reveals a land that seems still in the act of being born. A red glow cuts through the dark lava while a nēnē keeps watch beneath the scarlet blossoms of an ʻōhiʻa tree. The composition holds tension and silence with a striking economy of means. It evokes the adventure of reaching the far end of the Pacific, a fascination with forces still actively shaping the earth, and the nostalgia of travel posters devoted to the most distant horizons.
