January 31, 2017 - February 3, 2017
Parc Promenade Gallery, Waikiki Parc Hotel, 2233 Helumoa Road, Waikiki

David Harada芒鈧劉s sculptures are highlighted as part of an expanded arts partnership of the University of Hawai芒鈧渋 at M脛聛noa (91精品黑料吃瓜M), the Halekulani and its sister hotel, the Waikiki Parc.

Born and raised in Mililani, Hawai芒鈧渋, David Harada received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with an emphasis in glass from the Department of Art + Art History, 91精品黑料吃瓜M, in 2016. Glass inspires him because of its transparency, refractivity, and quality to be perceived as a liquid or a solid. His current work includes sculptures made of laminated glass that are ground and highly polished.

Harada states, 芒鈧揗emories are stratified by thoughts and emotions. They may appear permanent but like gemstones they erode and chip away over time. Each newly exposed facet reveals a layer of hidden history, providing new perspectives on the whole.芒鈧
