My interest lies in the hyper-reality and pseudo-concreteness that photography depicting motion can offer. The sense of motion blurs that line between an immediate understanding and a gradual awareness of what is happening within the scene.  The notion of how one crosses the threshold of perceptual understanding fascinates me, more specifically, the awareness of one perceiving oneself perceiving. There is a tension between selective focus and motion blur that facilitates the awareness of how well one thinks and sees the world around themselves.
