French multimedia artist [Cocovan](https://www.instagram.com/iamcocovan/) spent years on stage as a burgeoning pop artist, but industry-related anxiety and depression caused her to take a step back and reevaluate what made her feel fulfilled. Searching for a purpose that would inspire joy not only for herself, but others as well, she eventually conjured up an idea to unite hearts worldwide.
Thus, “The World Letter” was born.
The World Letter
Beginning on the streets of Berlin in May of 2017, what was initially a personal love letter to the world quickly evolved into a cathartic communal approach. Seeing how it immediately resonated and invoked passionate responses from total strangers across cultural boundaries, Cocovan conceived an even more exciting idea; what if someone from every country on Earth contributed to this love letter to the world, from the world? With that in mind, she began to jet-set across the globe, and during her travels, has acquired over 20,000 letters from citizens of 133 countries to date...but her work still isn’t done yet.
