Sometimes, when we're very, very still, we're more aware of movement than when we make a lot of movement outwardly.

What appeared to the earlier physicists to be the constant quantity of heat is nothing more than the whole motive power of the motion of heat, which remains constant so long as it is not transformed into other forms of work, or results afresh from them.

Hermann von Helmholtz

My photographs are not just about the instant of movement you capture in the camera. It's much more total, about constant movement that became static.
