‘L’ Is For The …

A few weeks ago when we were checking out a house for sale in Manoa, I noticed something quite unusual on the living room wall:

It was a piece of art consisting of four mesh hands in various positions … intriguing indeed. I asked the real estate agent if she knew anything about it and she said it was created by the home owner’s son.
The hands were forming the letters “L,” “O,” “V,” and “E” in American Sign Language. It’s the kind of piece that one might find in one of the well-known art museums around the country. But here it was, hanging on the wall of a home not that far from where I live.
Kudos to the artist – Ehn (pronounced “Ian”) Nishioka, a junior at Iolani School, from whence my two sons graduated many years ago.
