A Moment's Peace | Hoʻomaha – Fine Art Digital Download
In the quiet solitude of Maui's volcanic coastline, a rare Hawaiian monk seal finds a moment of perfect peace. With a gentle flipper draped over its eyes to shield them from the midday sun, this cherished native creature embodies the spirit of hoʻomaha—the Hawaiian word for rest, pause, and intermission.
The Story Behind the Art: Meet RH82 Captured by Steve and Cathy at the pristine Ahihi-Kīnaʻu Natural Area Reserve, this intimate portrait is a testament to patience and respect for wildlife.
This isn't just any seal; this is RH86, an adult female born in 2016 on the neighboring island of Kaho’olawe. If you look closely, you may spot a red tag on his back flipper marked "H86." This tag allows researchers to track his journey and health as he travels between the islands.
The image offers a rare glimpse into the life of the critically endangered Hawaiian monk seal (ʻĪlio-holo-i-ka-uaua), one of the most treasured animals in the islands. Resting on a bed of ancient, smooth lava rocks, RH82’s relaxed posture speaks a universal language of tranquility and the profound need for a quiet escape.
