Inspiration : Pali means "Cliffs" in Hawaiian, so it could also be translated as "Echoing Cliffs". But, "The Pali" refers to a specific place of ledges in Nuuanu, where I grew up. I am proud I could finally convey a layout my feelings for the nature of my home. While the inspiration comes from Oahu, I want to dedicate this layout to the people in Maui who are now trying to come to grips with the tragedy of the Lahaina fires. We share the same nature, people, aloha, and the same world. You are in my heart.

Additional Information
Inspiration : It is a creative work, it is not inspired by any real landscape, I usually run away from that method. If it is true that it has a story behind it, my visit to the Teide National Park and my admiration for what I found there, has served to create this forever memory of the experience I lived there. It also has a second meaning, like the meaning of the word in English, it is the feeling that all aquascapers have every year when we get down to work.
