Story

Interpersonal communication takes place on many different levels and the degree of its complexity depends on many factors, but the matter of overriding importance is always the essence
of the message transmission. The coded information, where the means of conveying ideas may be words, gestures, touch, look, etc. does not necessarily have to be associated with the interpretation consistent with the intention of the speaker. The direct, literal reception is something else entirely from the reception at the level of metaphorical meanings, all the more so because that message does not have to be clear and semantically accomplished. It can contain any number of pitfalls, which in the case of doubtful competence on the recipient’s part effectively thwart any effort to reach a reasonable agreement.
Project Letters is a series referring to the idea of information transmission far from literalness, which predisposes to reflect on the essence of hidden meanings between words.
