Description

Own a piece of Hawaiian heritage. Honu, from the Rising from the Ashes – Spirit of Aloha collection by world-renowned artist Dale Zarrella, is a breathtaking, one-of-a-kind carving that embodies the spirit of wisdom, longevity, and protection. Hand-carved from milo wood salvaged from the fires that ravaged Maui in 2023, this exceptional sculpture is a testament to resilience, renewal, and the deep connection between the Hawaiian people and the ocean.

In Hawaiian culture, the honu (Hawaiian green sea turtle) is a revered symbol of protection, good luck, and guidance. Ancient Hawaiians believed that honu served as spiritual guardians, or ‘aumākua, guiding wayfarers across the vast Pacific. These gentle creatures embody longevity and harmony, moving gracefully between land and sea while representing the balance between humanity and nature. Their presence in Hawaiian waters is a reminder of the islands’ sacred connection to the ocean and the importance of conservation.

Dale’s Rising from the Ashes – Spirit of Aloha collection is being offered exclusively through Treecovery to support the victims of the fire. As part of this rare and meaningful collection, each sculpture tells a story of renewal and hope, making it not only a stunning piece of art but also a symbol of resilience and aloha.
