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.
