This pop art painting celebrates the magic of the Polaroid β that iconic instant camera that captured memories long before screens and filters ruled our lives. The bold colours and graphic style pay tribute to a time when photographs were tangible, imperfect, and deeply personal.
Each flash was a small act of faith: shake, wait, and watch as the moment slowly appeared β ghostlike at first, then vivid and alive. It was instant gratification in its purest, analogue form.
This work is both a love letter to the 80s and a reflection on how we used to hold our memories β quite literally β in our hands.
