HANNAH ALTMAN

"I spent the first few years of the pandemic housesitting a cottage in a small beach town in Rhode Island. In the slow pace of my new environment, I found myself reading a lot of Jewish folklore, and became interested in photographing their narrative devices to visualize the texts. Casting myself as the characters and the house as the setting, I was exploring the ways that Jewish stories use motif repetition and circular narratives to build their worlds."
