Review Lotte:

“Working with Rhodé was a truly wonderful experience for me. Together, we gave a visual language to the texts that came to life during the Everyday Grief Writing course. It felt like a true collaboration, where Rhodé managed to translate the stories in a way that was both surprising and consistent. The card set clearly forms a cohesive whole, even though it consists of ten deeply personal stories. The participants felt seen through this, which, to me, is the most important outcome of this series.“

A 10-part postcard series created from the Alledaagse Rouw Schrijfcursus (Everyday Grief Writing course) a journaling course for grievers led by Lotte de Schouwer. Each card is written by a participant, offering a unique glimpse into everyday grief.

I participated in this course myself and as someone with personal experience with deep grief since late 2020, I designed this series with great care and emotion. It serves as both a tribute to loved and missed ones and a platform for the voice of grieving people in our society. Together with Lotte, I also organized an accompanying exhibition at “De Rode Schuur” in Noordwijk. You can order the postcard series here.
