"Thirst" is a visual exploration of water as the infinite metaphor for that which is transformative, powerful, and mysterious. Unique in its properties, essential for life, fought over, commoditized, and worshiped, water is the source of our inspiration. The goal of this series is to expose students to a variety of established contemporary Hawaii artists, their work and the thought process involved in making their art through a themed exhibition.
