A Hukilau is a shared fishing event .  A social gathering of the community to catch fish with a large net pulled from the shore.  It is  people working together to feed one another. length  - approx 70 feet long / height  8 - 1/2 feet tall material - stainless steel - year completed 2000

 Kids, like fish,  travel in schools until they grow up and swim off...perhaps to create their own schools... I wanted the "net" to gather the kids together and form a meeting place.  A place to hang out and interact , exchanging ideas...The "net" also provided shade from the very intense sunlight in Hawaii.  Wayne Zebzda 2000   see video below...
