DescriptionKonowiecki studied MA Fashion Photography at London College of Fashion. His series Bei Mir Bistu Shein portrays an Orthodox Jewish family represented in three different parts of the world: United States, England and Israel. These subjects exist in a liminal space between history and modernity and this dichotomy captures the essence of the subjects’ lives, defined by an idea that embodies the physical and the mystical world perhaps more than any other: Faith.
