Pepi Erdbories’ Letters works transform found luxury objects into intimate vessels for emotion and reflection. Using envelopes, dust bags, and branded cards from Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and YSL, Erdbories overlays handwritten messages that mix sincerity, irony, and humor. Each piece carries a note of self-awareness—“Let Go,” “Love Is Our Mission,” “You Suck Less Than Most People”—turning symbols of prestige into canvases for vulnerability and playfulness. Through this fusion of text and luxury branding, Erdbories challenges the intersection of desire, identity, and material culture, revealing how sentiment can exist even within the gloss of consumerism. The result is a series that feels both personal and cultural, equal parts love letter and critique.
