This diptych is a selection from Shofuso Views, my exhibition of Polaroid images that explore the abstract side of Shofuso - a 17th Century style Japanese house that exists in Fairmount Park Philadelphia. Polaroid is iconic for its connotation of travel, and its implication of "the instant." I used these two dimensions - alongside the unique color and focusing effects that are innate to the medium - to depict the dreamlike quality of Shofuso, while drawing relationships between Shofuso's own parts. The "instant" seemed like the best place to unify seemingly differentiated elements.
