blurred edges
Soft, undefined borders
Blurred edges are boundaries that lack sharpness or clarity.
In photography and visual art, they result from soft focus or motion.
Figuratively, the phrase describes unclear distinctions between categories or concepts: The blurred edges between work and personal life make it hard to disconnect.
Something with blurred edges resists neat definition.
