Stages of grief

(2020 - 2024)

During my art foundation course I started manipulating Polaroid photographs after they’d been shot to alter the final image. This evolved into the ‘Stages of grief’ project where I explored my own personal emotions with the grieving process. Over the years I have come back to this project as a way to process different personal experiences.

I feel an instant gratification when organically manipulating the Polaroid film as I am keeping my hands busy with the motion of slicing, burning or soaking. My Polaroid portraits and photographs are a way for me to express my inner feelings in a non-verbal way.
