For this composition, I used straight lines to represent the moving hand and dots to represent the motion of hitting the keyboard. I chose the two representations because lines have motions (and "potentiality for endless movements") and dots have brief sound as Kandinsky describes, which I thought are appropriate to represent the motion of hitting the keyboard. I used lines for both the nonblurry fingers and the blurred fingers in the original photograph, but made the lines for blurred fingers thinner. I wanted these lines to be thinner because, in the photograph, the blurred fingers appear to be more light-weighted. The lines also create directionality towards the dots. The dots vary in size, representing the different volume of sounds when the fingers are hitting the keyboard. I left the rest of the composition empty to emphasize on the motion itself and remove any distractions, including the keyboard. I really like this composition; I feel like it creates motion in the limited 2D space with only lines and dots, which is the original focus of the photograph.
