Umeke

"Umeke" — Original Painting by Scott Potter

The hook — one of Hawaii's most iconic and sacred symbols — takes center stage in this bold, meditative work. Rising against a warm coral background, this deeply curved fishhook swirls with the blues, purples, and silvers of the acrylic pour technique, as if the ocean itself lives within it. In Hawaiian culture the hook represents strength, prosperity, and a deep connection to the sea. Scott Potter, a lifelong waterman, renders it with both reverence and artistry.
