"[...] What do you make of events, of time passing, of things changing ever so drastically? Do not worry about the irreparable movements. Simply let them slide [...]. Time will do its work."

I think what I love most about my 'Postcards' project is that I usually send them through the mail to whoever wants one. After chatting with the person, I craft a piece, especially for them, and send it with an "incomplete" letter (a letter, written in pencil, where I erase words out intentionally). It doesn't matter if I don't know them; I like to share something as ambivalent and personal as mail (and my thoughts). Most of the time, the person will send me a postcard of their making in return, which I find magical.
