Since the emergence of smartphones, the postcard has become an almost obsolete communication tool. And yet, just like holiday photos posted on social networks, postcards have been a way to share travel destinations over the decades. Across the globe, postcards have played a key role in the development of massive tourism by exploiting the potential of places that have been developed as leisure destinations.
The images portrayed on postcards are usually based on stereotypes linked to the tourist imagery: the beauty and picturesque nature of the landscape, smiling faces, leisure activities, a welcoming environment.

Puzzles are easy to use, making them a leisure activity accessible to as large a number of people as possible. They are an everyday consumer item and offer a vast choice of reproductions of images to reconstitute.

Send me some Paradise is a series of collages on postcards that question our use of images in leisure activities and our relationship with the codes of representation adopted by the tourist industry. It presents pictures of landscapes from different times and places, but with the same aesthetic unity.
The pieces of the jigsaw puzzle applied to the postcards distort the images and alter the original message. The postcards in this form create an assemblage and force the jigsaw to remain permanently divided, making the initial image of the jigsaw - a tropical beach - unreadable.
