Living Memories

Living Memories explores the daily lives of women who lived over a century ago, in different Jewish communities in Europe. This project portrays digital collages which consist of photographs of tombstones, taken in eighteen different Jewish cemeteries throughout Europe, over the course of eight years, and black and white photographs of women from the Jewish community in Lublin, Poland, taken in the beginning of the 20th century by the Jewish photographer, Abram Zylberberg. The combining of drawing, embroidery, and knitting with theses collages support the connections to place, time, women’s work, and my own identity and sense of belonging. I create new narratives, in which we can still relate to these women’s presence today, keeping them alive in our collective memory. 

In 2020, Living Memories won the 15th Julia Margaret Cameron Award for Women Photographers in the Digital Manipulation & Collage Through Landscapes and Seascapes category, and it was exhibited in the Barcelona Foto Biennale 6th Biennial for Fine Art and Documentary Photography in Barcelona, in December 2021.
