The Letter Project uses handmade paper made by the destruction of dozens of letters written in a period of self isolation. I wrote to them to loved ones as a way of bridging the social distance. The letters are destroyed of their original context, but still hold their original content: care. The act of transforming the letters is as cathartic as the writing of them, and in keeping the letter writing hidden they are stripped of much of the personal narrative and given new opportunity to be a further tool of compassion.
