Moving tells the story of a departure. We imagine a different and better "elsewhere", more welcoming, where the grass is greener and life sweeter. But when it's time to leave, we're faced with a dilemma: what do we take with us, and what do we leave behind? Some things are lost along the way, and others prove useless and obsolete in the host environment. It's a quilt that brings together two paradoxical feelings, anguish and excitement, and also tells of the inexorable movement of life.
