Virage is a whimsical look at the beauty of everyday motion, in particular the act of turning. Every turn, however mundane, is potentially a turning point, be it conscious or subconscious, imposed or chosen. The decision to turn towards or away from something, or to simply follow a given path, may appear arbitrary at times; at other times it is essential to maintaining a certain order in society. This ordered confusion, presented in montage technique, works as an harmonious whole where different desires and trajectories intersect and proceed to their invisible goals.
