BLURRY MOMENTS

This is a recreation of the new vision that, after having undergone an eye surgery, makes me perceive the objects with a magic and confuse blurriness that gives them an alternative identity.

As a perfectionist person, something out of what I thought it was its natural order could cause me anxiety. This was also applicable to photography that should always have the ideal focus, contrast and definition.

Three years ago an eye ailment made me undergo a surgery that altered my vision significantly. I’ll never be able again to see the objects contour with the same sharpness as I used to do before and neither the spot lighting without a halo that fades it away.

At the beginning this was something to which I rebelled against and that traumatized me. I was frequently testing my vision capacity, especially at night when the neon lights or the car headlights blinded me, looking for an improvement that never came.

In spite of that I have to admit that little by little I was getting used to that new way of seeing.

Since then, lights, colors, night reflections on rainy days… became something that had a layer of magical unreality for me.

I've tried to recreate the confusing blurriness that gives the objects an alternative identity to the one they own, giving prominence to the lights and colors I can still perceive clearly, with the idea of capturing not so much shapes as emotions.
