This is part of a series of photo galleries in Meniscus Magazine featuring local and international artists at the POW! WOW! Hawaii 2020 festival in Honolulu. Artists took over the city – mostly concentrating on the neighborhood of Kaka’ako – from Feb. 10-15, creating colorful murals indicative of their signature styles. Each gallery features a progression of in-progress artwork up to its completion.

Raised in Hawaii, the Korean American artist Lauren Hana Chai studied at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. (photo by Kwai Chan / Meniscus Magazine)
