Haiii on Art: Miami (2017–Present) is an ongoing series by interdisciplinary artist Haiiileen, exploring the city of Miami through a lens of light, geometry, and emotion.
This body of work captures the spiritual vibration of place — reframing the familiar through synesthetic perception. From neon reflections and oceanic hues to the ever-shifting architecture of light, Haiiileen transforms Miami into both muse and mirror.
Each image, each documentation, becomes a meditation on frequency, rhythm, and transformation, merging fine art photography, site-specific installation, and human presence.

- Artist / Creative Director: Haiiileen
- Medium: Photography | Light Study | Immersive Documentation
- Location: Miami, FL

Description
In Haiii on Art: Miami, Haiiileen reimagines her hometown as a living light organism — documenting spaces that pulse with color, reflection, and atmosphere. The series moves fluidly between photography, performance, and installation, positioning Miami as both studio and subject.
The project began in 2017 as part of Haiiileen’s Haiii on Art global journey, which explores how light and human energy interact across different geographies. Miami — as the foundation of her artistic identity — remains the core of that continuum.
From Wynwood’s chromatic murals to the tranquil rhythms of the ocean, and from the reflective glass towers of downtown to the soft prismatic skies at dusk, Haiii on Art: Miami captures a multidimensional portrait of the city as vibration.
“Miami taught me how to see color as language — and light as emotion.” — Haiiileen
Conceptual Framework
- Synesthetic Geography: Translating emotional frequencies of place into visual compositions.
- Urban Light Ecology: Observing how architecture, sky, and water collaborate to create living environments.
- Energy Mapping: Documenting moments where emotion and atmosphere intersect.
- Immersive Perception: Using photography as both documentation and energetic translation.
Installation Components
While Haiii on Art: Miami exists primarily as an ongoing photography and documentation series, its evolution includes:
- Projected exhibitions within installation spaces.
- Archival prints on metallic and mirrored substrates.
- Experimental films and moving image studies.
- Social-media-based releases reflecting the ephemeral nature of digital light.
- Site-specific activations during Miami Art Week and public art programming.
Artist Reflection
“Miami will always be my first canvas. The city mirrors everything I am — layered, reflective, unpredictable, luminous. Each capture is a vibration of memory and imagination colliding.”
This series continues to evolve as a visual diary of transformation, recording how Miami’s light shifts through years of cultural change and artistic growth.
Archival Significance
- Marks the beginning of the ongoing “Haiii on Art” global series, which later expanded to Japan, Australia, Haiti, and beyond.
- Serves as a baseline study of Haiiileen’s evolving relationship with color, reflection, and place.
- Bridges her installation work with her synesthetic documentation practice.
- Reinforces her identity as both observer and creator of light environments.
