The slow shutter speed I use results in transparency, multiplicity, and fragmentation of the words as they adopt the fast changing shapes of the train cars. "Meaning in Motion" is an art project that proposes an open-ended dialogue between image and viewer through motion, language, color, and form. I am interested in how, through language and the meaning of words, we feel compelled to reflection, as the passing train constitutes a metaphor of life, and the words a means for questioning ourselves delivering different answers for each viewer.
