Intervening in familiar landscapes and personal environments using layered Polaroid images to disrupt the traditional surface of the photograph mirrors my broader interest in how identity is shaped and sometimes obscured by the spaces we inhabit.

By treating the Polaroid as both a tangible object and a visual record, I place it within the frame to intentionally interrupt continuity and fragment the viewer's recognition, creating a physical layering, identity becomes a deferred presence, emerging through a series of surfaces that conceal as much as they reveal. The work suggests that our understanding of home or self is never a single, uninterrupted image, but a collection of hollowed spaces and empty frames that we must constantly re-examine to find the presence within.
