Momentary Illumination of Objects in Motion

The car is idling on the road between

where we've been and where we're going.

The door's open. You coming?

Momentary Illumination of Objects In Motion tells of life and death, identity and race, change and resistance to change. Arias unflinchingly peers into the places we turn away from, showing us it's not always as neat or as clean as we'd like to imagine. Sometimes it's messy as hell.
