LABA Project

Speculative Archaeology of the Biblical

An artistic-conceptual project that reimagines lost objects suspended between faith, myth, and matter.
Through the creation of imagined artifacts inspired by biblical texts – particularly those whose form or material existence remains undefined – the work explores the boundary between belief and fabrication.
Here, the artist becomes an archaeologist of the impossible: excavating not the earth, but the realms of writing, memory, and intuition.

Preliminary project idea for LABA

My project aims to explore the boundaries of religion through the lens of transformation and change.
I seek to investigate the defining elements of religious symbols and spaces—examining what fundamentally constitutes a synagogue or a tallit.
This exploration will incorporate contemporary production techniques, such as AI to reinterpret these traditional forms in innovative and thought-provoking ways.
