On Saying Goodbye: The Leaving explores human agency, leaving, longing, and grieving. What is it to walk away from someone you know you’ll never touch again? Bodies are fleeting. Emotion is fleeting. Every moment is lost and never coming back again. How do we contend with this reality? We attempt to see it all, soak it in, let it go and let it die again and again in attempts to embrace the inevitability of loss and the beauty of now.
