This photograph captures transience and movement, with the cyclist serving as both subject and symbol of impermanence within the city’s pulse. This piece explores blurred motion, not just to depict speed but to unveil the ephemeral nature of movement itself. The analogue process permits subtle variations in tone and texture, lending the image intimacy and immediacy despite its abstraction. Hints of recognizable urban elements emerge briefly within the abstraction, engaging pareidolia to suggest fleeting architectural outlines or the whisper of passing figures. The blurred motion technique does more than depict speed; it evokes the transient nature of everyday life and presence, emphasizing how moments slip by even as they appear vivid.
