During that time, he began photographing nearby objects with a Polaroid camera, leading to the series \u003cem\u003eFlowers\u003c\/em\u003e, an exploration between the traditional and the abstract that reflects on the ephemeral beauty of nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eIn his second series, \u003cem\u003eArt\u003c\/em\u003e, Halard enlarges some of these Polaroids and intervenes them with paint, wax, and other materials, creating images with a strong sense of memory and history.
