doyou haiku || Doris Salcedo

delicate and sharp.

prickly but remains unseen

our losses, our hopes.

Doris Salcedo is definitely an art-star and has an impressive, varied and prolific body of work. Her work uses common materials and everyday objects to raise questions about loss both on an individual and universal level. Her works are moving, poignant and completely beautiful.

doyou haiku|| is a feature series of contemporary artists that I find inspiring. haiku forces me to boil my thoughts down to some essentials and still allow the work to speak for itself.
