In this project, we explore the next storytelling medium for poetry. We re-present a text poem into a visual form that reflects the characteristics of the poem. Our vision is to create a pandora of poems where all the poems from all over the world are re-born as a unique visual entity and anyone can walk around, see, listen, and touch the poem.
