This urban installation explores authentic human connection through anonymity and radical honesty. Passersby are invited to write an unsent letter to the "moral void" and, in exchange, read one written by someone else. The real art lies in the exchange of letters more than the mailbox itself. The project highlights that there is a lot of love circulating in the city, and the mailbox provides a safe place to explore these feelings. Swing by to earn your right to read.
