Holiday Haiku — 2016

When we travel, we try to capture a moment in a photograph, just as a haiku captures a moment in words.

Interesting fact: I made this series of paintings when I was newly pregnant and didn’t know it yet. You can see a prominent orange dot on each of the paintings, as if to say “here I am”.
