HAIKUS IN BLACK & WHITE
Black and White Haikus were created as digital art pieces that illustrate my original haikus with only text as the visual medium.
The text at the bottom is meant to "caption" each, so that the seventeen syllable form can be even more clearly understood.

Haiku One:
"Life is one big endless gray area.
Black letters stand brave despite."
Haiku Two:
"If I could see everything better,
rocks would sing
and poems would roll free."
Haiku Three:
"Evolution: Animal stripes
or color of one leaf – which came first?"
I purposely used the limitations of black and white to further illustrate the simplicity of the haiku to the viewer. Choice of text styles became part of the message of each piece. Having the freedom to distort the text offered me the opportunity to communicate the idea more visually.
