Some people put toys, drawings and wishes for the future in a time box as a child, which they bury somewhere to dig up again as adults. The title Postcards from tomorrow was inspired by this tradition.

Three images that have a symbolic meaning - similar to the objects from the time box - are the inspiration for the three movements of the composition by Gauthier Dupertuis.

The first movement, Abandoned Blockhouses, refers to war and other horrors in human history, while the second movement, Pagoda at the lake, was inspired by the pagoda, a religious building whose function is to house the relics of holy people in Asian worship. The third and final movement, Building Bridges, is a call to hope.

In July 2021, this piece was awarded first prize at the international composition competition "La Bacchetta d'Oro" in Italy.
