outgoing mail art "A journey to Afghanistan" to Morsal Obeidi (Afghanistan)

outgoing mail art "A journey to Afghanistan" to Morsal Obeidi (Afghanistan) - this is a new mail art project, sending out registered letters to Afghanistan to let my mother travel through this country. The teenage girl Morsal Obeidi, born in Masar-e Scharif has been murdered by her brother in 2008 because of stupid ideas he has in mind; he did the so-called honour killing. I hope this letter came back - because of its fictive address - in a modified way to bring it to an exhibition later on. The free space on the right side is for the registered label of the post office. Just to see what will happen. Later on will follow other sendings to touch sensitive issues of country.
