Abstract
While deeply rooted in Japanese culture, haiku poetry also deals with themes of universal appeal and can thus resonate with people all around the world and through the ages. In this article, I reinterpret the tradition of written haiku poetry into today’s ever-expanding realm of globalisation and visual media. The outcome of this reinterpretation is a photographic concept that I call Visual Haiku. Visual Haiku transfer the essence of traditional written haiku into a new medium, breathing new life into the timeless concepts of haiku, ensuring they resonate powerfully in today's interconnected and visually driven world. I also discuss how Visual Haiku function across two very different cultures and ages.
