About the Art and Artists

Ruth Patir (b. 1984) is an American-born Israeli contemporary digital artist perhaps best known for her 2024 installation [M]otherland at the 60th Venice Biennale, which she voluntarily shut down until the time there would be a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Though it was never shown at the Biennale it will soon be shown at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art and the Jewish Museum in Manhattan, with the latter institution having purchased the work.

Elinor Carucci (b. 1971) an Israeli-American photographer best known for The Collars of RBG (2023), a collection that highlights the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's lifelong triumph over adversity and gender discrimination - as well as the individualism she expressed through her diverse collars.
