The idea for this story emerged when, on an autumn afternoon while crossing the city park in Antwerp, I picked up a leaf from the ground and thought: “it’s changing color, adapting to a new reality.” Just like me, freshly moved to a new country.

MOVING tells the story of someone who decides to leave, detach from their roots, and go to an unknown territory in search of a new adventure, a better life. Stepping out of the comfort zone, choosing what to take, what to leave behind.

This silent book is a metaphor for today, when all of us, whether for adventure, work, religion, war, love, family or curiosity, travel, circulate, move and mingle around the world. The yellow character retains its color identity while absorbing others, symbolizing growth through new experiences. Likewise, the blue place gains from diversity, sprouting yellow buds and enriching itself with external cultures.
