In the digital age, where fleeting interactions often replace meaningful connections, finding ways to pause and reflect on what truly matters are rare. Enter SCENES: Prompts to Reflect, a postcard book curated by Jamie Reddington, the electronic artist known as Sound of Fractures. The collection of prompts aims to recapture the intimacy and depth of our shared human experience through a series of beautifully crafted postcards that encourage reflection, connection, and emotional expression.

Facilitated by the SCENES project—an initiative that transformed the traditional music release format into a collaborative mixed-media art experience— Prompts to Reflect brings the same ethos of community and introspection into a practical postcard book. Each postcard in this book was submitted by members of the public in response to a prompt, and turned in to be an invitation to pause, to delve into memories, and to share those moments with others.

The SCENES project invited listeners to contribute personal photographs and memories to create a living gallery of interconnected experiences. With Prompts to Reflect, we’ve extend this interactive, reflective process into our physical lives. The postcards can be gifted, mailed, or displayed, serving as daily wellness prompts or heartfelt messages to loved ones. This tangible collection seeks to bridge the gap between the digital and physical, offering a way to hold onto and share the moments that shape us rather than just posting them online.

The concept of Prompts to Reflect is simple yet profound. Each card features a thoughtful prompt designed to spark introspection and connection. Whether reflecting on a cherished memory, expressing gratitude, or simply taking a moment to breathe and be present, these prompts encourage a deeper engagement with our inner lives and the people around us.

In a world that often prioritizes speed and convenience over depth and connection, SCENES: Prompts to Reflect offers a refreshing counterpoint. It reminds us that taking the time to reflect, to connect, and to share can enrich our lives in ways that no digital interaction ever could. Through these postcards, Reddington continues his mission to create art that transcends boundaries, fostering a sense of community and shared humanity that is both timeless and deeply needed.

Just as Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt's Oblique Strategies cards provided artists with creative nudges, and Elijah’s with music career prompts, Prompts to Reflect provides emotional and reflective prompts for everyone. It's a tool for mindfulness, a catalyst for conversation, and a reminder of the power of personal connection in an increasingly impersonal world. By embedding the ethos of the SCENES project into this tangible product, Reddington invites us all to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with the moments and people that matter most.
