Pu'u Keka'a — Black Rock in English — is a low volcanic cinder cone at the north end of Kaanapali Beach on west Maui. In Hawaiian tradition it is a leina a ka 'uhane, a leap of the soul, one of the places where spirits cross into the next world. The chief Kahekili II was known for leaping from it as a show of fearlessness. Each evening at sundown the resort built behind it lights torches along the rock and a diver makes the leap in his memory. Below the surface, green sea turtles graze the reef. Lahaina is four miles south.

Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
