Quenching my thirst, it is a sensual work. Black & White: Photo-Haiku is accessorized with words and black and white pictures that evoke feelings to reach the reader’s heart, soul and mind; it also includes the nature of abstraction, reality and existence, how a human being as an artist has tried to focus on why he exists, why he lives and creates life in art, art in life the way that he does and feels to pursue a certain goal. Black & White: Photo-Haiku is like a body with a soul, and this is my creative contribution of love and respect to the natural world.
