Mezuzahs, 2017
Mezuzah: hand-written scroll inscribed with texts with specific verses of the Torah that is placed inside of a petite, custom-designed case. Mezuzot are placed on the doorposts of rooms in Jewish homes to act as a reminder for our love and commitment to G-d and willingness to create a welcoming, Jewish household. I designed and created 3 mezuzot: one for my mother, one for my brother, and one for my father. Each individual mezuzah reflects a personal component that I feel best represents the passionate qualities of my family members, of what brings them pure love and joy.

Dad has an admiration for cigars and the quality conversations he has with his cigar buddies as they enjoy moments of self-content and distractions from busy work days

Brother
