Three key throughlines shape my practice: intergenerational trauma, the geopolitical forces behind state violence, and historical Jewish responses to oppression. I create performance, installation, video, and sculpture using traditional Jewish ritual, organic material, and recurring themes of body, family, hypervigilance, and security. My work directly references diasporic protective practices, rituals, objects, and symbols that Jews have used over centuries to confront today's urgent crises and to create new means of collective resistance and healing.
