Description

aaalone is a series of concrete poetry experiments about reconstructing language to interpret loneliness in the context of both English and Chinese. The project is focused on using programming languages (python and javascript) to break down the visual language that we are using daily and create a new visual form in which the visual aspect is more meaningful than the verbal meaning itself. The collection of concrete poems takes viewers to look at my relationship with loneliness. It is also meant to help them reflect on their feelings during the self-quarantine.
