My body is an archive of vanished things. Each Polaroid captures not just a moment, but a trace — of touch, breath, and a state that no longer exists. Through self-portraiture I try to hold onto the versions of myself that constantly slip away: woman, mother, artist — sometimes all at once, sometimes none of them.

This project explores ephemerality through the body as a temporary presence in space. The body appears, interacts with landscapes and architecture, and gradually dissolves into its surroundings. What remains is not the body itself, but the trace of its presence.

I allow the body to move intuitively, trusting physical memory more than deliberate control. I chose Polaroid because it mirrors life itself: immediate, fragile, and impossible to correct — like memory that fades but keeps its essence.

Each frame becomes a small act of resistance, a quiet proof of presence. Not to preserve beauty, but to witness disappearance — and to understand what remains when everything else fades.
