This year we remember all those who lost their lives during times of war and periods of conflict. However, it is also important to remember that this year has also been one of isolation. We have been separated from loved ones, face-to-face communication has been difficult, and we've often been unable to express our emotions in person. Many of us have lost loved ones, many of us have sacrificed time with our families and those we care about, and many of us have suffered the effects of loneliness and isolation.

At times like these words become even more important than usual, whether it is through a text message, by a phone call or, in this case, through a letter. ‘Letters from Home’ commemorates all those lost during war time but also remembers those who we have lost and have been separated from this year. It is a tribute to the lasting power of words during times of conflict, isolation and anxiety. Moreover, it encapsulates the hope we all have to be reunited with our loved ones and to be able to tell them face-to-face how much they mean to us.
