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.
