"Impetus is a photographic series capturing the traces of human movement through long exposure. By either tracking motion or shifting the camera itself, the images create blurred streaks that speak to the passage of time and the nature of memory.
Foregrounded figures or objects draw attention to moments of significance, while the autumnal palette and slow shutter speed (1/5 second) evoke change, anonymity, and nostalgia. These painterly distortions mirror the way memories blur - details lost in motion, yet emotionally resonant.
Inspired by street photographer Aleksandr Babarikin, whose long exposures transform everyday scenes into fluid, expressive moments, Impetus reflects on daily routines and the quiet poetry of motion. The resulting images echo Art Deco’s clean lines and geometric elegance, where form and feeling converge through movement."
