Just before leaving [Cities and Memory]
Update: 2025-11-17
Description
A woman writes a message during her daily tram commute to work. Seemingly insignificant details, like selling a table or a couch, hide a deeply personal story about love, and the fragility of the hope for new beginnings. In these small, fleeting moments between home and work, she is rewriting her story, while the ordinary tram ride becomes the extraordinary vessel navigating the delicate space between now and tomorrow.
Just before leaving was created for Cities and Memory's Autumn Project, reimagining the sound of a Melbourne tram.
