The project touches upon the topic of hybrids
I got the inspiration from my identity, a combination of Russian and Yeminite Jewry.
In Israel, this combination is perceived as a mashup of two opposing and often conflicting worlds, which has greatly affected my personal identity and upbringing.
My contemplations regarding my race lead me to the biblical definition of Kil’ayim (hybrids), which are several
prohibitions involving sinful combinations according to Jewish law.
The project is comprised of seven booklets bound by a translucent case.
Six of the booklets each detail one of the prohibitions and the final one focuses on my personal story.
The booklets open with the definition of the prohibition followed by my associative response to the biblical scriptures, in an attempt to develop the thought on the topic.
