Eulogy

Eulogy is a journey through grief alongside my family. Eulogy delves into the intricate connection between Polaroid manipulation and the journey of grief, offering a profound metaphorical parallel. Just as the grieving process is characterised by its unpredictability and an evershifting emotional landscape, the world of Polaroid manipulation embodies a similarly complex and uncertain journey. Through techniques such as boiling, immersion in various liquids, and manipulation with external elements, each photograph undergoes a metamorphosis. This mirrors the myriad ways individuals grapple with and adapt to loss. Due to the uncertainty of Polaroid manipulation each photograph becomes a one-of-a-kind. Six selected images are scanned and printed to 100cm x 100cm on fabric. This transformation not only alters the essence of the original moment captured but also reshapes the subject matter itself. These final, magnified images encapsulate the profound depth of grief. The fabric's texture and dynamic flow convey an entirely fresh narrative. In stark contrast to the initial-sized Polaroids, these final images serve as a weighty reflection of the extended and multifaceted journey experienced. A unique and deeply personal story of a universal experience that is often hard to share in its true reality.
