Women’s Empowerment

העצמה נשית
This project presents influential women from the Orthodox world who move simultaneously within the private and the public sphere. Each figure carries family life, spiritual commitment and cultural or social presence. By photographing these women inside domestic interiors, the series positions the home not as a background, but as a site of power, identity and influence. Through portraiture, the work explores the meeting point between tradition and public agency, intimacy and visibility.
