"This photograph, tells a haiku in three lines: the rock, the human (Nanae), and the bird—an adventure on the Okinawan island of Miyakojima. In Japan, I learned about the saying Kachou Fuugetsu (花⿃⾵⽉), which literally means “Flower, Bird, Wind, Moon.” While the phrase isn’t commonly used anymore, it helped me to learn a little of the language because these words are so fundamental. It translates to “Experience the beauties of nature, and in doing so, learn about yourself.” Simple words, great meaning! (I draw inspiration from Kachou Fuugetsu.)"

Paul Cupido’s work is poetry in visual form—a meditation on impermanence, intimacy, and the quiet revelations of the world. Paul offers us a haiku as an image — with each element in perfect harmony. Through this lens, we are reminded that with space and patience we can begin to truly see ourselves.
