“hope” is the thing with feathers.
that perches in the soul.
and sings the tune without the words.
and never stops. at all.
Emily Dickinson
Artist Statement
This poster gives form to the quiet persistence of Emily Dickinson’s poem “hope is the thing with feathers”. Her handwriting is surrounded by abstract, feather-like shapes that suggest breath, flight, and resilience. Rather than illustrating the poem literally, the design reflects its emotional quality—soft but unwavering, fragile yet luminous. Dickinson’s language floats at the center, a quiet constant in uncertain space.
