"Transcendence happens in those moments that move us," shares Heidi. "Sometimes the moments are small and seemingly insignificant, like the light moving across the water as the sky shifts with color each dawn. Transcendence happens when we are there — present in the moment — part of the light and the shifting sky - one with the world as it holds us, unfolding into the new day.
This work celebrates the sun rising in the east behind Mauna Wakea. The vantage point is from the deep waters off Kawaihae beach and fishing village before the harbor was built."
