GHOSTS DISSOLVE IN LIGHT | Haiku for Ancestors

Hackl’s work always seeks to tap into our inner most core, to celebrate our vital power & energy, an alchemical process of becoming, through the dark towards the light.

GHOSTS DISSOLVE IN LIGHT | haiku for ancestors
is a visual & sensorial poem, a morphing trace flowing through the womb of time, our inner ocean and origin, diving through the dark, light notes playing with shadows in a fluid dance of creation, like light rays breaking through the surface of the ocean. A meditation, an incantation to heal our ancestor’s history, still pulsating within our blood.

.
1:

grey horizons breathing
milky sky echos
the scream underneath the ocean
- haiku for an act of rebellion [guerrilla dance]

2:
whispering ghosts
broken skies release a message
in ancestral red
.
red cutting dark black
like a scream resonating
sun warms the echo
.
ghosts dissolve in light
warm gold cleansed the shadow
now, blood is silent
