This project, Instant Redemption, is a hands-on act of turning perceived mistakes into treasures, a quiet declaration that nothing is truly wasted, even when it feels broken.

The archive of discarded instant film—the blurred shots, chemistry nightmares, and faded images—was once seen as frustrating failures. Yet, like the painful parts of life, these imperfect Polaroids hold a profound truth: that growth often starts with a mistake. This series gives those moments new life by actively choosing reclamation. The discarded photographs are rewritten using typewriters, pens, and markers; the streaks and blurring become the starting point for new worlds, literally giving the forgotten object a voice. This is a practice in honoring the whole journey, proving that every imperfect moment deserves to be remembered, confirming the simple truth that Hope is in the persistence.
