Design Concept
The warmth of handwriting has always spoken differently, from the manuscript to the underlying meaning, it is an invitation to deeper emotions and connections. Personally, it has always been a way to express my thoughts that failed to communicate through dialogue. However, a letter does have its limitations - what if the reader lacks the courage even to open the envelope? How can our thoughts be heard then? This is how the idea of a ‘transparent letter’ speaks to me. Although a transparent letter might be beyond postal regulations, its existence allows thoughts to flow as natural as air, as serene as breathing to the beholder. 
手寫筆跡的溫度一直被視為關係情感之間的聯繫。自己一直很喜歡手寫的溫度,也很喜歡透過文字、書信去表達情感,作為一種抒發情緒的出口。當連打開信封的勇氣都沒有,只想對方能直視我內心的所思所想 – 我如何能向對方直率地坦白我的心聲呢? 這觸發了我想透過「透明的信」產生對話的原因。雖然「透明的信」在香港是不能被正式寄出的,但它存在的意義就像空氣般自然、像呼吸般自在,才能一目了然向對方表達心跡。
