Unpacking: A Life Story Told Through a Series of Moves
Moving house is an inherently stressful activity. Or, at the very least, it’s an activity that we rarely relish undertaking. There’s just so much work – taking the sum material total of your life and decanting it with care into boxes upon boxes upon boxes. Why do we have so much stuff? And even when everything’s packed, you’ve still got to thoroughly clean the old place, in the hopes of getting your bond back without any further discussion. And once that’s done, it’s on to the new destination to sift through all that stuff and find homes for it all.
That part, at least, isn’t all bad – you can do it somewhat at your own pace, and you’re making a new environment your own. “I think unpacking is not an un-fun process,” says Wren Brier, one half of the Australian duo making the zen puzzle game Unpacking. “Packing is pretty stressful, but unpacking is not as stressful and there's more enjoyment in it.”
