Remember the A6 Project that I mentioned here a while ago? With the exhibition currently happening in London (21-27 Sep), here are the 2 postcards that I worked on.

This is what I sent to my London counterpart. In the future, I imagine we would eventually run out of burial space on Earth and began sending our beloved ones into outer space. But with so much debris flowing around, a collision caused the capsule to break open and therefore releasing the body.

The character clutching the letter is sort of autobiographical, that’s my mother. I remember on the morning when she died last year, my younger sister wrote a letter for her, folded it into a crane and placed it on her hands as she laid in the coffin. We do not know what she wrote and we never ask, because it is for her. And, here is what Su from London drew in response:

It is rather spontaneous because we never corresponded at all and I did not explain on the postcard. After Su completed her part, she sent me a screenshot of the postcard. I wrote back saying that what she drew gave a peaceful aura and that the intended message is not important. If I really have to attach a meaning to the image, I would say that the deceased had moved on to a better place (maybe nirvana) and that she is able to hear us from there.

At this time, I received a postcard from London, this time from Jacqui!

And she asks, in her postcard, “Will birds marry mobiles?” Because birds are adapting to the environment, and some birds are singing the songs of cellphone ring tones, they are falling love. Hee hee, here’s my response:

I had so much fun!
