Hannah Altman's Photographic Series Explores Jewish Narrative Traditions

Photographer Hannah Altman has released 'We Will Return To You,' a photographic project examining Jewish storytelling through folklore, ritual, and material culture. The series blends portraits and still lifes to investigate how narratives are embodied and reinterpreted. It includes images such as 'Curing' (2022), 'Telling You' (2021), and 'Baba Yaga' (2024), using light and objects to convey themes of memory and mysticism. An accompanying book published by Saint Lucy Books integrates text with the visuals, reflecting both written and oral traditions. The work focuses on continuity and reinterpretation within Jewish cultural heritage.
