Moon in Motion uses the concepts of time, movement and human interference to visually manipulate and obscure what we would otherwise see. The Moon was photographed using a combination of long exposures and physical movement of the camera, resulting in a triptych; three iterations of the same subject with three different visual endpoints. In the blur of motion that materializes, a feeling is represented instead of an obvious subject. This feeling stimulates the individual imagination, leaving room for questions and conversations, and for seeing what the mind chooses to see.
