Image description

Maternal Torah (Torat Imecha), together with The Yeshiva Inside (Yeshiva Bifnim), merges the forms of a corset and a Sefer Torah (scroll) cover. Jewish tradition sees the Torah as a feminine object. These corset/Torah hybrids explore this concept by highlighting the womanly aspects of the cover, as well as the beauty and constraints of Halacha (Jewish Law). The Yeshiva Inside is a 'pregnant' Sefer Torah cover, inspired by a Talmudic passage that describes a foetus being taught Torah in the womb. At birth, forgetting what it has learnt, it spends its life trying to remember.
