[CHANTING]
The Hawai'i Prince Hotel Waikiki was established in 1990.
Twenty-six years later, they embarked on a full hotel transformation, rebranding to the
Prince Waikiki.
The new design is inspired by the hotel's rich history.
They discovered that before it was the hotel twenty-five years ago, it was a muliwai.
And that muliwai is a place where the fresh water meets the ocean, and it creates these
undulations in the sand and the water.
Locally acclaimed artist Kaili Chun took inspiration from the muliwai
to design the hulali i ka la,
the ceiling installation hanging in the new Prince Waikiki.
For me, the hinana, I gravitated to it, because it's the baby 'o'opu.
And also, I had a dream one evening, and it was about the reflection of the sun on the
surface of the water.
So, I kind of took those elements, as well as the muliwai
and the little ripples that it makes.
We did a lot of design work early on,
making prototypes of different shapes, different materials.
We were given a framework to work with, so you know, came up with the copper, came up
with the shape, came up with the form and the texture of the pieces, and proceeded to
make a model, a one-to-one model of this thing.
And we could figure out how we wanted to curve everything across the ceiling.
Phase 2 was discovering that we should let the employees make some.
And I think just the process itself is Hawaiian.
You know, like …
Nobody builds a fishpond on their own.
Exactly.
So …
It's all about the community.
Yeah.
And the family.
And so, when you're looking at the hotel and all of the employees, and literally their
families participated in this, you know, that's a very Hawaiian thing.
Once I got involved, it was just amazing.
It was very exciting, I think, for us as employees to be a part of the whole art piece.
It was a nice way to kind of say: This is where we are, and this is our people, and
our culture, and this is very important.
And with this rebranding, I think it kind of moved right into that little niche.
The hulali i ka la is more than just a piece of artwork in a hotel -- it's a story hammered
through memories by those with ties to the Prince Waikiki.
