Known as Frank Sheriff when the sculpture was created, Linda titled it "Ano Lani; Ano Honua"(A Heavenly Nature; an Earthly Nature) because it combines the cultural values represented in a Hawaiian legend based in the Kewalo area with the contemporary contextand activities of Kewalo Basin. The title describes the role of the ʻaumakua (protector) and refers to the Pueo (Hawaiian owl). According to legend, a man named Kapoi showed great kindness to a Pueo in Kewalo, and the Pueo rewarded him by becoming his ʻaumakua. Later, joined by other owls from all the islands, the Pueo saved Kapoi’s life in a famous battle that took place in Waikīkī. The eight diamond forms of the sculpture represent the major islands of Hawaiʻi, protected by the wings of the owl.

The diamonds form a tapa pattern and are a three-dimensional expression of the Kewalo Basin Park promenade pattern. Vertical canoe forms, symbolic of sea travel and the ocean-related activities of Kewalo Basin today, link the islands.
