Haikyo Naturalia January 2015 Los Angeles, California “Haikyo” is a Japanese word often used to describe manmade ruins being overtaken by nature. “Naturalia” is a Latin term for “nature’s specimens,” and is meant to evoke the wild, ancient, unstoppable force of nature. What is beyond the gate? Light seeps underneath the door, calling the optimistic to pass through to a brighter, yet unknown future. The vines and foliage have begun to reclaim control of this portal and the lamp that once lit the entry. The bricks and foundation have already begun their decay. Past, present and future meet here.
