IN TOUCH LETTERS

ABOUT

In Touch Letters is an installation, community events, and a daily practice…

Through years of a long-distance friendship, letter-writing has allowed my best friend and I to remain in touch - metaphorically and physically. The sensation of opening a mailbox and finding something that has been crafted specifically with each other in mind connects us in a myriad of ways. It’s a feeling that is uniquely personal yet universal: a daily practice we wanted to share.

To a certain degree, these letters reflect our diaries in loose-leaf form. The envelopes are collaged and capture our surroundings at the time (e.g., old newspapers, dried leaves, flight tickets, maps, etc.). They also capture ourselves (e.g., fears for the future, details of our surroundings, secrets, or the next month’s goals).
