・E Komo Mai ・Aloha Kakou! ・What's New! ・Poster E Komo Mai! Hale Hawaii -Dolphin Arts Artist: Hiro 'HALE' Sekine Born and raised in Japan, moving to the Big Island since 2004. Hiro's style is very unique. Hiro has captured Dolphin on film to swim without aqualung. So Hiro takes 3 ft. long fins on and mask and tries to feel Dolphins’ intention. The wildlife conservation of Hawai'i is getting worse for latest decade. An ecosystem has been changed. It is getting hard to keep balancing between residential development and wildlife conservation. For example, sea water temperature is raising, crown-of-thorns starfishes are reproducing abnormally and coral reef are getting ceasing to exist, etc….Hiro is seriously wondering there are some doubtfulness whether Dolphin can live in Hawaii after another 100-year. Dolphins may not exist near future. Hiro is taking unaffected Dolphin pictures for telling to posterity, Now Hiro is promoting a conservation movement that called ‘100-year project’ on his own and donating small percentage from his sales to WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature) every year.　 　“I don't like man-made beauty. Free diving has a lot of chance to play together. Consequently I can take powerful pictures and can express inherent beauty.” 　Hiro hopes to capture primitive beauty that Dolphin has, expressing ALOHA and Hawaiian spirits and to be conserved Beautiful Hawaiian Nature. Hiro's arts are in ‘Cafe LAVA JAVA’ , Eastwest fine arts gallery, etc., downtown Kona.
