Haiku Objects

A conceptual project that gives a visual expression of the principles behind Japanese Haiku poetry in an Israeli cultural context. Haiku is a very short form of Japanese poetry,  the Haiku traditionally contains a Kigo, a word or phrase that symbolizes or implies the season of the poem, Kigo is Usually elements of nature.

​

The objects I created in the project represent elements of Israeli nature: trees, flowers and birds that are identified as symbols in Israeli culture have cultural, social and historical significance in the eyes of the Israeli viewer. Every object is Abstraction of each nature element and implies its cultural significance; you can use objects and combinations from objects to create your own visual haiku poem.
