This series began from a feeling I call belonging—a search for a way in which photographs and objects could sit side by side and tell a shared story.
To capture these moments, I turned to Polaroid photography—a choice that, due to the uniqueness of each image, resonated deeply with the idea of the “one-of-a-kind.”
Ultimately, each photograph was placed next to an object tied to an event or emotion from my twenty-fifth year. These moments may relate to a single day or span a longer period, but all are rooted in lived, personal experience.
