"Words" is a New Media project created in attempt to illustrate the meaningful connection between love and memory.

For this, I asked for annonymous submissions from friends and family: Lyrics, quotes, letters, poetry, short essays, think pieces, or prose. Anything dealing with the topics of memory or love.

In the selected pieces' video and photo counterparts, I tried to emmulate the feeling of nostalgia one may get from reading someone else's words about ideas and feelings nearly everyone has delt with.

From this project, I hope to communicate the idea that words are powerful enough to connect readers through shared experiences.
