When we were in Hawai’i in January, we bought two sculptures. There were quite a few similar pieces to choose from and, because the artist created each one from hand-blown glass, no two were exactly alike. It took repeated visits to the store to select the ones we liked best. Recent pictures of the eruptions of Kilauea verify that the artist accurately envisioned his finished work.
Here’s an aerial view of Kilauea erupting from fissures.
Here’s our sculpture titled “Fissure.”
This is a photo of a fountain in an eruption.
This is our sculpture titled “Eruption.” Compare its shape to the fountain in the actual volcano.
