Prototypes: The Transformation of Tradition looks at the adaptations and changes of Jewish history, tradition, and rituals.  These ideas are explored through multiple chapters and prototypes.

​

This project uses archival theory, oral histories, personal experiences and social media as the main research tools. These findings are then translated into ethnographic drawings, films, as well as interactive models. This project looks to create prototypes that respond to the transformation of tradition over time; in conjunction with the haunted histories of Jews in Egypt and the Genizah archive.
