OUR NEWEST COLLABORATION
Sulat Habang Buhay
Sulat Habang Buhay is a collaborative project by Noel Ferrer and Looking for Juan, dedicated to rekindling the art of hand-written letters as tools for self-discovery, healing, and reconnection.
This thoughtfully crafted letter-writing journal features original watercolor artworks of Aldy Aguirre and includes prompts and stationery to inspire heartfelt expression through writing.
