Each month, I send a letter — a real one — to souls around the world. Inside the envelope, you’ll find a small collection of things I’ve made and thought about that month:
Welcome to My Mail Club!
Each month, I choose one of those replies and create a pastel artwork + knitted piece inspired by the energy of that person’s message.
This is my way of keeping art and connection close — in our hands, not just our screens.
The Polina Scarf is a modern and minimalist design inspired by my friend, who embodies both a logical mind and a creative heart.
