Driftwood Dreams (Gallery Editions): Hawaiian Monk Seal

Title: Driftwood Dreams: Hawaiian Monk Seal | Fine Art Digital Download

In Driftwood Dreams, we captured a rare and serene moment along the West Maui coastline featuring a very special subject. While the uninitiated see a resting animal, experts and enthusiasts will recognize her as R308, a female Hawaiian Monk Seal (‘Ilio-holo-i-ka-uaua) and a frequent visitor to Maui’s West Side. Born in 2004 or earlier, she has navigated these waters for decades, here finding a well-deserved respite against the bleached skeleton of a weathered tree. The composition strikes a beautiful balance between the rugged, sun-bleached driftwood and the peaceful form of R308, all framed by the vibrant blues of the Pacific.
