haiku © Mirjam Pet-Jacobs

The haiku on the left are modern derivatives of the Japanese haiku with their strict syllable count. Click on the image to read them.

I wrote the words in a single breath, with instant inspiration. The textile versions are visualizations of the words and needed two or three breaths more to make.
Each haiku is presented with its textile/mixed media counterpart in a CD box.
