PRINCIPLE - ILLUSION OF MOTION: KINESTHETIC EMPATHY
Describing form: What is the specific communicative strategy? Where is it found?
The illusion of motion is the representation of an action, or the process of moving. Kinesthetic empathy is an unconscious reaction we feel in our body; we feel as well as see the action.
Discussing content: What does it communicate?
The image communicates freedom and relaxation. We can sense an unbalanced feeling from the position of the body of the girl on top of the surfboard. She is practicing a sport which also evokes motion because of the wave itself and where is it placed. We can also sense the kinesthetic empathy with the hair and basically the whole composition.
