In Chinese, the word “诗” (shi, “poem”) means the language that expresses thoughts from the heart. The expressions in ancient Chinese poems can’t be perfectly translated into other languages. The beauty of ancient Chinese poems transcends time and space, inviting readers from any era to reimagine the poems. A Poetic Space is an immersive visualization of several nature-related Chinese poems, applying simple line drawings, sound design, and typography in a physical, private space. The design goes beyond literal language, re-translating the poems in a 3D landscape and welcoming the audience to step into the world of ancient Chinese poetry.
