Kigo

Izumi Yoshida

Poland 2013 / 6’

In an abstract visualization of Japanese verse that soothes the senses and clears the mind, animated haikus show the significance of common objects, wondrous charm of sand, and trite remains. The impermanence and changeability of seasons are parts of the transforming universe that influence human emotions in awe of the transitory ephemeral beauty ensconced in nature.
