Aleph
Boulder, Bondi & the Medieval Past
Inspired by cycles of antisemitic violence and the Medieval stereotypes that continue to exert influence over our culture. In this case, “Aleph” is both the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet as well as symbolic of multiple moments in time coming together in single point. This may be the first in a series.
