“Breath of the Tropics,” an original hand-carved sculptural relief by award-winning Hawaiian artist Ruben Aira Jr., was specially commissioned to grace one side of the main entrance door to a luxury apartment in Waikiki.

Every intricate detail is meticulously hand-carved over months, blending rich wood, resin, and layered media to evoke the living spirit of Hawaiʻi.
