Artist statement about this work:
A traditional Japanese haiku is a three-line poem with seventeen syllables, by focusing on images of nature, haiku emphasizes simplicity, intensity, and openness of expression. In this installation series, I use these poetic resources translated into a short animation surrounded by a vignette-like woodcut frame, to highlight briefly but consistently contemporary life issues related to uncertainty, migration, and sociopolitical and economic manipulation. of populations in our globalized world.
