The Moving Atlas
After countless journeys, are you getting closer to your ideal life?
Moving, settling in and resettling again – moving homes is a journey that brings together what you SEE and SAW, the present and the past captured in one moment.
The Moving Atlas depicts and weaves together every journey of moving to present the human emotions and sentiments entangled in the process. Every thread represents an individual’s journey of moving, and every move is also a journey of personal growth – a decision driven by a complex web of reasons in life.
In the Moving Atlas, a collection of stories and memories are woven along the threads to form a matrix representing people moving in different scales – from journeys nearby to expeditions far across the globe. In these constant acts of moving, we continuously search for a home, settle in and then look forward to moving again. Whilst we may all live under the same vast sky, we might not meet one another until we start weaving our journeys together – to see how our lives are intertwined and to tell our individual stories, as one.
