Description: Bathed in silver-toned shadows and framed by the lush flora of Kaua‘i’s northern coast, Hideaway captures a rare equilibrium between concealment and revelation. The composition leads the eye through a curtain of tropical foliage toward the fading line of horizon, where mist lingers on the Nā Pali cliffs like memory

In this work from his Kauai, I Love You series, Gillilan employs monochrome not as absence, but as presence—stripping color to reveal the psychological weight of place. Hideaway is less a landscape than a threshold, inviting reflection on sanctuary, impermanence, and the veiled edges of the known world.
