This is a project and observation on love and future sight. I aim to gather anonymous letters of people writing to their future spouse/partner/love. I want others to come together and let their true and tender feelings show and know that they aren't alone in their hopes and dreams for finding their love.
I plan to gather these letters and create illustrations from them and compile the images and letters into a book. If you would like to be notified when the book is complete please feel free to leave me your email.

ABOUT THIS PROJECT
This project was developed by me, Gabrielle Gonzales an illustrator and designer located Los Angeles, California. I am currently doing work based around the theme of sentimentality not based in nostalgia but in future sight. Send us your love is the submission part of this project and key to its success. What I aim to do is gather as many letters as I can all based around this common theme of dreaming about future love and all the emotions it can encompass.
With these letters I plan to publish a small book sometime in mid 2012. Along with this book and based around excerpts from the submissions I get I also plan on creating illustrations to go with the book. If you have any questions please feel free to email me.
Why would I want to do this and why should you want to submit a letter? The whole point of this project is to revalidate the emotion of sentimentality. Most contribute sentimentality as drama and emotions stuck in the past but this is not what I see to be true. Sentimentality is the key to the more tender sides of human emotion and connectivity allowing us as humans to open our hearts to romanticism, compassion, and hope. I want to reclaim sentimentality for everyone and make it something to not be embarrassed of. My hope for this project is that it helps people reconnect with sentimentality and that seeing that others can have similar emotions and thoughts helps us connect with each other.
