LETTERS HOME, 2022

Prisoners' letters are the most important artifact acting as a guide between our generations. Personal messages were not intended for the eyes of others, but the issues raised in them reflected the life of a huge country that existed under the pressure of a cruel state machine.

Rewriting other people's letters, we put on the mask of the author and live inside all his emotions and worries. We write in his words, address his loved ones, end the letter with his name. We leave these scars of fate in our memory and give them a new life.
