Lu'au-Tree  8"x11" matted photo
This Digital IR Photo from Queen Lili’uokalani Park: La'au-Tree: The images of the tree in her mind were like her life, off balance, out of sync. She seemed to be acting a part and in real life he felt she was the same way. He imagined that the general public thought they knew her, but he felt that he was the only one who really knew her, like he was the only one who saw the true colors of the tree. He had thought of her for so many years that he believed that he was inside of her head and that she could not hide from him. In his mind he followed her during the day letting her see just enough of him so that she would know she was being followed and watched. He wanted her to be suspicious, fearful. He often wore disguises, like the colors in the tree, so that he could work near her and she would not recognize him. But he wasn’t sure he could recognize himself.
