‘Off’ by Johan Rosenmunthe is a [photo set](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1) that’s selectively pixelated for a peculiar effect that reminds me of loading an image on a slow Internet connection. Key details of each shot, like faces, are blurred, rendering them at once intriguing and frustrating.
