About 36 8 Polaroids
36 8 Polaroids features a selection from Zara's ongoing project and offers a unique dive into her recent work.
"When I started this ongoing body of work I thought it was about me trying to visualise the experience of pain, but over the past year I have come to realise it is more about working through past pain and trauma. Exorcising it. Allowing myself to sit with it, bring it to the surface and expel it from me and in to the images I make. An act of catharsis.”
