Ka Lōkahi O Ke Aloha” (meaning “in love and togetherness there is unity”) features depictions of locals—some of whom have battled cancer themselves, as well as the loved ones who supported them. The 202-square-foot mosaic mural comprises more than 100,000 vitreous glass tiles in 31 different colors. To accurately render the forms of each person, Kosmides worked with a local photographer to capture their poses and figures for the artwork. “‘Ka mana’olana aloha o nā lima ko’o o ke ’ānuenue’,” the inspiration statement behind the mosaic mural, means ‘the supporting hands of the Rainbow bring hope, love, and healing for all who come to here.’ Our island’s Rainbow Falls waterfall is next door to the facility, so I hope the artwork is a greeting that tells all entering it that they are not alone in their journey,”Kosmides says.
