In an oversharing world, blur is a form of control.
I didn’t start out trying to blur myself out of my work — it just happened. At first, I was like everyone else, obsessing over light, composition, exposure. I’d take portraits, edit carefully, and present myself as cleanly and clearly as I could. But over time, I realized I wasn’t comfortable being seen so literally. The internet doesn’t forget, and it doesn’t always care about context.
So one day, I blurred my face in a photo. Not to hide — but to feel free.
What surprised me was how much it changed the image. Suddenly, the subject wasn’t me, exactly. It was something more symbolic. The shape of a presence, but not the details. It invited interpretation. It told a different story.
That was the start of what would become my Blurred Identity series — and the foundation of how I now work as a faceless artist.
I use a mix of AI, digital editing, and online tools to create my work — especially tools that don’t require heavy software or a complicated learning curve.
One of my essentials is Blur Image, a browser-based face and background blur tool that lets me quickly anonymize images without losing aesthetic quality.
For my process, I typically:
No installs. No Photoshop layers. Just a clean, intuitive tool that makes privacy part of the composition.
From 'Who was I before the blur?'
What I love about blurring images is that it forces you to focus on what’s left. The tilt of a head. The shape of the light. The emotion that still comes through, even when the eyes are hidden.
In an oversharing world, blur is a form of control. And for artists like me, it’s a way of telling a story that respects boundaries — mine and others’.
Some people call it aesthetic. Some call it a privacy tool.
For me, it’s just how I see the world: not always sharp, but always intentional.
I create art that explores the line between clarity and mystery. My work uses custom blurring techniques to transform everyday images into dreamy, surreal visions. This style invites the viewer to interpret the image through emotion, not detail.
All works are crafted with care using digital tools like ChatGPT and BlurMe's Face Blur for precise, creative blurring.
