Hassid – definition series

0 CommentsTuesday • June 15, 2010 • by jon

Judaism has always appealed to me by being so diverse.  It’s ancient as well as modern, general while at the same time giving attention to the most intimate details of life.  In this series I revisited the roots of Judaism as the oldest practicing religion.  A sense of whimsy was brought to the project by adding modern definitions to the ancient terms.  To a gentile, or non-practicing Jew this series will seem as though these Jewish elements have come from another world, another place lost in the span of history, but to a practicing Jew these are real elements of our lives.  This dichotomy provides for a unique user experience of the art depending on the audience.
