Life is about moving forward and never looking back at the past. The present is an ironic term in this case, because you never know what to expect, hence the term "present". This work deals with the two kids heading forward in life. With the suitcases, it shows they have all they need in their life, showing how much is needed. You don't need all this information or little details, whether it's through objects or words, to move on in life. Never looking back is like saying goodbye to the past. It was once here, but now it is gone. The girl in the picture resembles the irony in the picture, she's moving on with her life, but she is looking back. The kids continue on with their way, into a bright future.
