Project context & references

A study of undelivered correspondence

An undelivered sentence can outlive the journey it never made.

Leave enough space for an unfinished sentence.

Setting
A railway waiting room, a night train, a returned-mail room, and a suspended paper exhibition.
Value
Emotional restraint and original testimony.
Design approach
A centred reading spread with a photograph on one page and a short address on the other.
