All That Glitters
I-Type Polaroids, foam board, acrylic paint, spray paint
2026

Over a year, frequent sessions with my Polaroid camera produced more than two hundred images.

quiet concerts, authenticity, collaborative dance, unstaged

The images accumulate like days passing, and double exposures collapse memories into one frame.

Some moments recede into the mass, while others insist on being remembered.
