The most important part of my birthright trip was reflecting on my identity. As a 26 year old, I don't spend much time introspecting on my identity -- at least not nearly as much time as I did as an adolescent. I had 10 whole days to not think about my phone, work, or life at home. I thought about the people around me, how I interacted with them, and how my interactions were reflections of my inner-self. I painted this of my friend, Clara; I finished it yesterday. I was inspired to paint her after birthright because she happens to be a person whose outward identity has changed immensely over the years I've known her. I don't just mean her pink hair -- her identity fluctuations run deep. Without getting into detail about her identity, I painted her this painting because I wanted to remind her that she is always the same person. She changes, her environment and friends change, and her entire body and skin changes, but she is still essentially the same person. The glitter in the painting was meant to remind her that her identity radiates from remembering her childhood. If she can remember who she was as a little girl, she can remember who she is meant to be today. Part of my jewish birthright experience was reminding me of this notion; that who we are is something that can be remembered.

I took this picture at the market in Tel Aviv. Pomegranates are a big symbol in Judaism, and the way these pomegranates were arranged made them look so beautiful, I? knew I had to get the perfect composition to make them look as delectable in the picture as they looked in real life.

This is a tattoo I had created to show my love and spiritual part of Judaism. It is a hamsa with the evil eye, representing g-d and the evil eye keeping evil away while keeping g-d with me. Then I have the Jewish star, to show my pride and love for Judaism. And the zodiac signs represent my dad, brother, myself and my mom. The whole tattoo is meaningful.
