We always seem to have filters up when we look at the past. Depending on perspective, much of the past can seem exciting, dangerous, brutal, laconic, depressing, and ideal all at once. I really enjoyed reading my Hawaiian history in school. When setting up my first apartment, I wanted that look and feel of old Hawaii that I saw in my family home and the homes of my friends. That's how my love of tiki started. A way to connect to my roots in a contemporary way.
