Memory, just like the chemical processes in a Polaroid, is a fleeting thing. We often think of our memories as stable, something we can rely on to reflect the past clearly. Yet, just as with Polaroid film, memory is susceptible to shifts. It doesn’t always record events as they were, and sometimes it reflects more of how we felt, how we processed, or how we’ve changed in the present. This fragility of memory mirrors the vulnerability of our existence—constantly changing, sometimes fading, and unable to be perfectly preserved.
Trauma, too, becomes intertwined with this metaphor. The film's chemical instability could represent how trauma imprints on us in ways we cannot always control. Sometimes, the marks of trauma are vivid and sharp, like the bright, jarring colors that emerge unpredictably on film. At other times, it fades into something less distinct, blurry or fragmented. Our experiences with trauma, much like a Polaroid left out in the sun, can become warped, leaving us with incomplete or skewed recollections. Yet, even with these distortions, the memory remains; we still feel it, even if we can’t always fully see or articulate it.
In this way, memory is often used but not practiced. We rely on it to make sense of our lives, yet we don’t actively engage with it in a deep, intentional way. Like a Polaroid shot, we capture moments and move on, without necessarily revisiting or reinterpreting them. Instead of being actively nurtured or understood, our memories, especially the painful ones, can sit in the background, slowly losing their original form—just as a photograph slowly fades over time.
The transient nature of these memories—whether from trauma, joy, or simply the passage of time—reflects the ephemerality of life itself. Existence is like that fleeting moment captured in a Polaroid: we can hold it for a short time, but inevitably, it will change, blur, or disappear. The fragility of both memory and life speaks to the fragile nature of being, where every moment is both precious and fleeting, impossible to fully preserve or grasp.
This metaphor of chemical instability in Polaroid film, therefore, beautifully reflects on the fragility of human existence—how memory is a tool for navigating life’s complexity, yet its imperfection is something we must learn to accept. It teaches us to embrace impermanence and appreciate the beauty in that which is transient.
