Flickering light within the empty space and from out of the shadows fluttering comes life. As air carries their bodies, flight in the mill, the moth surfaces. Moths symbolise the degeneration of clothing comparable to the history of textile industry.


Abandoned and forgotten. Water droplets fill sound within the space, combined with the symphony of fluttering wings. Traces of life which once occupied this space. Moths would have been the fear of the textile industry. Demonstrative of the decline of the textile industry in Manchester. The mills now have a rebirth in the regeneration, similar to the metamorphosis stage of a Moth.
