Harbors Vintage × Yuki Umi
A collaborative canvas with artist Yuki Umi, live painting and a TRYS window display at Harbors Vintage in Waikīkī.
WHY THIS WALL
When Harbors Vintage had its shop in Waikīkī, the store invited Trysen and his friend, artist Yuki Umi, to take over the space for a pop-up. Together they painted a collaborative canvas inspired by Lēʻahi (Diamond Head): Trysen painted the crater rising in the background at sunset, and Yuki drew a Moomin in the foreground painting a wall, a nod to the two artists' own work.
Trysen painted live in the shop during the event and hand-lettered a "Harbors Vintage / Yuki Umi × TRYS" sign for the entrance, which Yuki then added her own touches to. He also designed and set up a window display of TRYS prints, hats and merch facing the street, so people walking through Waikīkī could see the work from the sidewalk.
The project shows how the studio brings a retail space to life: a shared artwork, live painting that draws people in, and a display that keeps working after the event ends.
