This piece is the title of my Sentiments series and a central work in my research on identity and human emotion. Composed of 36 original Polaroids, the work captures four emotional states of the same man through a process of fragmentation and reconstruction.
By working with nine units of emulsion for each portrait, I seek to break the idea of the image as a single, static block. My intention is to show that we are not a single emotion, but a sum… of fickle, fragile, and sometimes contradictory layers.
I use the emulsion lift technique to shift the image toward a physical and organic materiality, transforming the photograph into a fabric of sensations that can almost be touched. It is an exploration of man's vulnerability in the face of his own gaze, an attempt to reveal what normally remains hidden beneath the surface.

Macarena Stipetic
Spain
Macarena Stipetic (Argentina, based in Barcelona) explores the fragility of the image as a reflection of human emotion through her personal project: Eterografía. The name, born from the union of the ethereal and the graphic, defines her search for a visual writing that captures the impalpable.
Using the delicate technique of 'Polaroid Emulsion Lift', Macarena rescues analog photographs from their rigid support, giving them a new, organic, and vibrant existence. In an act of manual alchemy, she peels off the emulsion—the very skin of the image—and transplants it onto handcrafted cotton canvases. The image folds and acquires a unique three-dimensionality, transforming into a physical vestige of memory.
Her works are unique pieces that celebrate the beauty of the ephemeral. Macarena's art invites us to inhabit the poetic space between what we try to hold onto and what fades away; a refuge where the image becomes pure feeling.
