Polaroid Series

My favorite part of taking a Polaroid is the singular, physical image that you get at the end. In this series of photos, I captured memories in a way that reflects how I remember them. Through photographing my memories as Polaroids, it represents the uniqueness, physicality, and originality because once the photo is taken, the same photo can’t be remade, much like a memory.
