Is there something you’re not saying? What have you left unsaid?
The death of someone we love can put us in a position where our words remain forever unspoken.
#Unsaid is an anonymous interactive installation created by Life Death Whatever that allows people to express all the things they’ve been unable to say. It’s a collection of cathartic postcards where you can share your words, your burden, your sorrow, your secrets and your sadness without judgement or comment.
