#LettersFromTwitter is a curation of Twitter updates written by faceless strangers on the Internet. Each page presents a narrative quilted from individuals regarding a wide variety of predetermined subjects. The juxtaposition of the 140-character confessions with each other re-contextualizes the whole concept of Twitter, bringing it a more tangible feel and distancing it from the digital realm. In doing so, #LFT hopes to explore certain themes: to underscore the fine line between the public domain and private space and its increasing imperceptibility as the audience is handed a piece of private and unsought information.  It also ventures to examine the construction of the self—how social media creates a dichotomy between two identities: the authentic and the scripted self. And finally, #LFT aspires to help us step back from the individual elements and details, allowing us to examine a composite image of society as a whole, the collective voice of the masses. And with this new perspective, we may be able to perceive the common thread that runs through each of us, making us interconnected in ways that we have yet to recognize.
