The sculpted manta ray, designed by a tattoo artist inspired by Polynesian motifs, will be suspended above the dining tables in the tower’s 1- and 2-bedroom villas. This graceful creature, reminiscent of Grandma Tala’s manta ray spirit in “Moana,” is part of the broader Polynesian-themed artwork featured throughout the Island Tower.
