Many describe haiku as “playful verse”—a term that captures both its lightness and its depth. In this episode, I explore how this sense of playful experimentation not only shapes haiku, but also underpins all creative expression. From resisting rigid thinking to creating with freedom, I share the journey behind my latest photography portfolio, “Horizons,” and the liberating power of letting go of outcomes. When we stop aiming to produce and start playing, we may uncover something genuinely new.
