In ʻŌlelo Hawai'i, hihiʻo means a dream or vision.
Our mission is to discover, create, and convey each kanaka's hihiʻo through imagery that communicates the moʻolelo that artists want to express.
In Hawaiian culture, moʻolelo's were traditionally passed on orally through a storyteller or orator, or even through hula and mele.
