Polaroid Emulsions

Photographic images transformed through water, time, and touch.

In this body of work, digitally printed images are reimagined through analog Polaroid film. People, places, and objects become softer and more elusive.

Using the emulsion lift process, I separate the delicate image layer from its original surface and gently reposition it. The image floats above textured paper, painted grounds, or patterned materials, creating depth and fluidity. Fragments of memory and narrative appear suspended in space.

Each piece becomes a visual poem, layered, ephemeral, and open to interpretation. The process is physical and unpredictable, and that is part of what draws me to it. The image must be surrendered to water, to time, and to touch, and in that letting go, something new is allowed to surface.
