Dutch photographer Teun Hocks uses his distinct style to draw the 26 letters of the alphabet. Each letter is a persona - a chef, a mermaid, a skateboarder - doing something whimsical, holding true to Hock's oeuvre that is always characterized by craftsmanship, a keen sense of narrative, and a hint of comedy. Two skiers enjoying apres ski, forming 'W' with their skis and drinks in hand, or the circus trainer luring a snail to start a race for 'M', are perfect examples of how, even though confined within the form of the Latin alphabet, each letter succeeds in telling a story.
