June 27th lava flow


Our active volcano Kilauea, has decided to flow in a unusual and different path, towards the East side of the island. It has been burning through the forest and making her way through our Pahoa town and some of the neighborhoods.

A house has been burned down and many acres of forest have been completely buried in lava.

We are witnessing this natural phenomena and as the lava takes over, new art pieces are emerging.

Here are the most recent ones:
