Not only does the blur effect connect us to the concept of ‘loss’ and ‘emptiness’ but it also pulls us into the images, giving us the ability to see the image from the artist’s point of view. Not only does this ‘pull’ effect come from the use of movement in the imagery, but also occurs through the creation of depth which occurs through your juxtaposition of objects which would generally not hold commonalities.” Fotonostrum.
