Insight
At the start of 2024, I challenged myself to write two haiku's a week. This resulted in a rich archive of poetry that functioned as an abstracted diary. I decided to use a selection of these writings to create I Have Changed, But So Have You, a perpetual haiku hosted on a website with the same name (visit www.ihavechangedbutsohaveyou.com).
The idea came from a desire to explore how new poems and meanings could emerge from an existing body of work. By randomizing the individual lines, the piece reshapes itself continuously, allowing new and unexpected combinations to appear. The haiku is always online and always accessible for anyone that feels like tuning in for a few minutes.
