My name is Bohawi
Welcome to the world of Immersive Poetry.
Each artwork starts as a photograph...
undergoes its transformation through visual animation...
comes to life with musical soundscape...
and finally, tells its story through poetry.

The Siege
This photograph was taken by my mother, Ann Sawyer, during peak pandemic. My sister had just returned from abroad to find that she was no longer able to live at home. It's a tale of isolation, despair and loneliness.
Volcano
This artwork is inspired by Lebanese Lioness Nour Hejase. It explores the themes of empowerment, defiance and resilience.
Sometimes home is not the place for the soul.
And sometimes we have to leave what we know, to find who we are.
'My Nails are Clawed,
My Teeth are Bared'

God Breaks His Silence
This piece is autobiographical. As a child, I rejected the idea of a universe with authority over me. But over the years, it began to dawn on me that perhaps there is a path for me to follow. But the walking I would have to do myself.
The photograph is credited to Ukrainian DJ Tsarevna, taken during a psychedelic journey at the prestigious Rosewood hotel in Hong Kong. This piece of immersive poetry explores the profound vision which arose with the striking of an Indian singing bowl during the course of that journey.

The Princess of Darkness
Upon the bustling streets of Hong Kong,
I found the Princess of Darkness.
This artwork is inspired by the the groundbreaking Ukrainian artist, muse and filmmaker 'Princess of Darkness', whose true identity I will not share.
This piece enjoyed its inception within Hong Kong's urban jungle, where the Princess danced with the players of the game, and learnt their secrets.

Wildflower #1
Tangled in the fine nets of conformity,
I met the souls of the Middle Kingdom.
The photograph which was to be the starting point of this piece was taken at 'Sense', a student-run dive bar at the edge of a Chinese college town. It explores the life of Alex, a free-spirited young woman, navigating the transition into China's intense urban rat-race.

Surrender
Returning dreamer,
A woman from distant shores,
Arrives on the Island of the Gods.
This is a photograph of Melody Meyer; entrepreneur, Shadow Priestess and sex icon. It was taken in Bali, Indonesia, where Melody travelled from Germany to serve the callings of her spirit.
Her path has been one of surrender, and the release of old burdens.

The Broken Amorists
This photograph was taken during a long, serene walk across the Kam Shan Country Park, Hong Kong.
The finished artpiece uses poetry, music and digital painting to transform itself into a shared cry of souls in the night.

Flowerman
The Flowerman is my first AI generated model, created as a digital avatar of where I find myself on the winding spiritual path of life.
This is a time of absolution, or evolution.
Of courage and freedom.
No longer will I buy the old stories.
