Reclaimed Nostalgia No. 2

Reclaimed Nostalgia: Hand-Embroidered Polaroid Art

A fresh take on upcycled art, this piece breathes new life into materials once destined for the trash. A decades-old expired Polaroid film pack, once forgotten, now holds a secret—its back carefully cut and transformed into a tiny pocket, stuffed with colorful embroidery thread remnants.

The circular mark near the bottom is a natural formation of dried developer chemicals — a beautiful accident that occurred after the Polaroid film spent years unused in its original cartridge.

This artwork merges texture, history, and sustainability in a one-of-a-kind creation. A celebration of repurposing and storytelling.

  • Original Polaroid with hand embroidery

  • Edition: 1 of 1

  • Signed on back of Polaroid
