Unlike her earlier paintings which were representations of numerical data, Hayal Pozanti's new body of work is a meditation on words and language abstraction, described by the artist as "visual poetry” . Her creative process starts with collecting words and phrases from online sources and her own poetry. She then picks a word from this set to meditate on and translates it into paint by intuitively composing new shapes.
