Love, Mary
Title: Love, Mary
Creator: Maithu Koppolu
Category: Time
Creator Commentary:
As we follow Mary’s journey of healing, we see it spaced apart by the dates of the letters. While the letters in the beginning of the story are written much closer together and show how she continues to live in and hold onto the illusion of her old life, the letters towards the end are months apart, sometimes even years, and show her disillusionment with what she thought was real, and her final acceptance of her new reality.
