Photos exploring liberated identity in the Orthodox Jewish community:
. It felt like: Someone sees me; someone thinks this is important. My family didn't even ask what I'm showing, and I'm not going to tell them. Because — again — they can’t look at the images. Even if they were invited here [to see the show in France], they would never come. It's something that I'm dealing with, and will always deal with. I wouldhave had the courage that Michael has at this age. He’s kind of like the hardcore version of myself.
Thanks to social media, you can reach out — to the world, or even next door. People can see posts not only in Tel Aviv, or in Israel, or if you’re Jewish. On TikTok, Michael could see young people his age, on the street at a cafe. That’s the impact that these images have. One time, as I was taking photos of him, someone stopped him like, “OMG, are you Michael? I know you from TikTok!” Someone Hasidic, in black-and-white clothing — very religious.
**What helped you understand that you can honor your heritage by doing what works for you, without being a hardliner? To be practicing, but still your full self? You said Michael hasn't run away, but it seems like reconciling the two extremely different worlds is ultimately untenable. Anyone in that situation will reach an impasse.
