This piece revisits my Utopian Vision series. A wahine is a girl or young woman in Hawaii and Polynesia, pronounced wah-hee-nee. This donkey is striped like a zebra. Some donkeys have a trace of their ancestor's, the wild ass's, stripes. In my imaginary utopian world, donkeys can have a full set of stripes.
