This project offers a solution for crafting sustainable media akin to traditional letters, aiming to convey warmth. Utilizing bio-plastic to shape elements symbolizing the ocean and continent, like sea waves and leaves, alongside eco-friendly handmade paper as a textured and printed material, the collection showcases the profound connection between humans and nature. As a medium, bringing the sailor family's story to life in an environmentally friendly manner, the collection is infused with natural materials, carrying the essence of the ocean and continent, symbolizing the heart-touching connection between family members.

The collection offers a new journey, extending the traditional letters with natural materials that encapsulate not only emotions but also the essence of the ocean, continent, and people's stories. Through handmade paper, the letter expresses a unique emotion while lessening the impact of traditional paper production on the environment. As the wheel of time turns, a new chapter unfolds, embracing the past while crafting a sustainable future.
