EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of an ancient sacred site in the area of the Polynesian Cultural Center, located in Kahuku on the beautiful Island of Oahu, Hawaii. The image transports us back to 1969 when it was taken by renowned photographer Folco Quilici. The scene depicted in this photograph is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Polynesia. The towering statue at the center stands as a silent guardian, reminding us of the deep spiritual significance attached to this place. Surrounded by breathtaking landscapes and seascape views, it is easy to understand why this location holds such reverence for both locals and visitors alike. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the diverse populations that have shaped these islands over centuries. From Polynesians who first settled here thousands of years ago to later migrations from Australoid and Oceanic populations, their unique traditions and customs have left an indelible mark on Hawaiian culture. Beyond its archaeological significance, this photograph also serves as a window into anthropology, ethnography, and folklore studies. It invites us to explore not only physical artifacts but also intangible aspects such as rituals and stories passed down through generations. While admiring Quilici's artistry in capturing this momentous site with precision and grace, let us appreciate its historical value without commercial intent or mention. Instead, let our focus be on preserving these sacred sites for future generations so they too can experience the awe-inspiring beauty that lies within them. In conclusion, Alinari's print beautifully encapsulates an ancient sacred site near Kahuku's Polynesian Cultural Center on Oahu Island. Its depiction evokes feelings of wonderment while highlighting important themes like archaeology, population diversity, anthropology research - all contributing factors that make Hawaii such a culturally significant destination.
