Reflections on displacements, not always exterior, whether by choice, necessity or reasons more ephemeral; perilous journeys to unknown destinations and uncertain outcomes, the need to escape from or escape to, the search for a safe harbour or the simple desire to strike out into the empty spaces on the map. When we return, you won’t recognise us.
