Blurring photo series are diptych photographs of people standing in front of their homes. The first pictures are discreetly taken just before people are ready to pose for the picture without giving them advanced warnings for the shot. The subsequent pictures show the models posing for the "cheese, one, two, three!" moment with full awareness of the camera. As they are ready for the camera, they present and hold the best possible poses and facial expressions that they want to record on the picture.

Blurring series explores the process of making a new identity. Regardless of the age, gender, race or sexual orientation, every model is creating a new persona to represent themselves in the picture. The blurred faces shows the unsettled transitional state of losing one persona and creating a new one. The blurring faces put their permanent identities to an end.
