This painting depicts Pili, a recurring surfer girl in Ok LIAO’s work. Here, she appears in profile, wearing a green hat and a traditional Hawaiian lei. With her eyes gently closed, she embodies calmness and inner strength a quiet moment before or after facing the waves.
On her shoulder, a faint scar recalls her encounters with the ocean. It is not a blemish but a testament: every wound becomes part of her beauty and resilience.
The title Kupulau means “spring” in Hawaiian, symbolizing renewal and growth, qualities that Pili carries with grace and dignity.
Pili, along with her companion Kono, forms an ongoing narrative in Ok LIAO’s art. Through them, the artist shares stories of surfing, Hawaiian culture, and the life lessons given by the ocean.
