Sharon Pulwer, God Fearing Woman
The Israeli photographer (born 1995) lives in New York, and her “God Fearing Women” series documents the lives of women belonging to the Jewish Orthodox community, Chabad Lubavitch, in Brooklyn. Her motifs draw attention to the contradictions between family and profession, tradition and self-realisation.
