Magic Island shows off a whole new side in this image by local designer Pete Ulatan. It’s part of a series of digitally manipulated images entitled “Fight Reality,” using photos of Hawai‘i’s cityscapes and natural landscapes. “I want to explore the possibilities of our imagination,” says Ulatan in his artist statement. “We have the power to take the natural beauty we see around us further and create our own worlds. I find it particularly gratifying to be able to do that.” Find out more at ulatan.com.
