Community & Storytelling
Charlot populated the mural with real people from his Waiāhole Valley neighborhood, blending humor, surrealism, and timeless proverbs. Scenes range from playful childhood antics to surreal imagery illustrating lessons like “You will know a tree by its fruit.”
“Using real people made the mural much more meaningful for the community.” – Martin Charlot
By residing in Windward Mall, the mural continues to anchor cultural storytelling in a central community space, allowing residents of Ko‘olaupoko to encounter art that reflects themselves, their neighbors, and their shared history.
“Na ke kanaka mahiʻai ka imu ō nui.”

“He opens the door with his backside.”
(He doesn’t know whether he’s coming or going.)
— Pieter Brueghel the Elder, 1559
“She carries fire in one hand and water in the other.”
