Rima: Passages in Sephardic Sculpture draws on my Southwest Asian and North African roots, tracing themes of cultural heritage, memory, and identity through five generations of women in my family. Much of Jewish Arab cultural heritage has been erased or forgotten due to political, economic, and social forces, leaving me with fragments to piece together. At the heart of the project is Rima, my great-great-great-grandmother, an Iraqi Jewish woman who defied societal expectations to travel the world alone—a rare feat for a religious Jewish woman with seven children in the early 20th century. Inspired by her story, I embarked on a journey of my own, retracing parts of her path through the Negev Desert and India. Guided by a combination of imagination and family stories, I sought to connect with her legacy by learning traditional textile crafts, using the senses and making as tools to reveal memories and knowledge buried within.
