This project began when I returned to my hometown during the summer after spending five years living abroad. While sorting through old belongings, I discovered a faded pink cardboard box that my mother had carefully kept. Inside were the small "treasures" of my childhood—colourful tapes, strings, stickers, stamps, hole punches, and other forgotten objects. Among them were several expired packs of Polaroid and Fujifilm instant film that had remained untouched for years. Using these discarded materials from my childhood, I created a new series of photographs that reanimate fragments of the past
