PROJECT OUTLINE
The book highlights love many forms, quiet, fleeting, enduring, and how these emotions are shaped by the ways we choose to communicate. By reinterpreting traditional formats like handwritten letters into modern equivalents, the project bridges past and present, revealing both change and continuity in how we express care. This publication is not only a collection of stories, but an interactive and reflective space, inviting readers to see themselves within a larger history of love and to consider their own ways of expressing it.

Love,
THE PROBLEM
In today’s world, expressions of love have become fast, disposable, and often surface-level. Messages are sent instantly, but just as easily ignored, deleted, or forgotten. There is a loss of intention and permanence in how we communicate affection. Many people struggle to reflect on their own experiences of love or to see themselves as part of a larger emotional history.
THE PROCESS
I began by researching different forms of communication, from handwritten letters and historical archives like the Browning letters, to contemporary sources like online submissions and digital messages. I analyzed how tone, language, and format evolve depending on the medium and era. From there, I curated and adapted these expressions into a cohesive narrative, sometimes translating older forms into modern equivalents, like letters into emails or messages.
THE OUTCOME
The final outcome is a publication about love across time, titled Love, Written Through Time. The book acts as both a collection and a personal artifact, it not only presents stories of love from different eras. It becomes a space for reflection, nostalgia, and connection, allowing readers to see that while the way we communicate changes, the feeling of love remains deeply human and constant. Ultimately, the project aims to slow people down and reintroduce intention into expressions of love.
