"Multiplicidade implica em abundância e variação", diz Moser. "Essas gravuras são o resultado da colaboração entre os artista e as gráficas profissionais que ajudam a realizar a visão do artista. Essa interação altera o estereótipo do artista que trabalha sozinho no estúdio e celebra o poder da colaboração. "
