Lodz, Poland. photograph by Shterna Goldbloom for their series, "i am the other / איך בין די סטרא אחרא". they describe their inspiration for this series thus:
For the first sixteen years of my life, I was taught to stay away from everything unholy, all the deepest, darkest profanities of the world, the "other side." Sitra Achra is the term used to describe all the things on the "other side" of holiness, like queers, and women who don't fit traditional definitions of femininity, women who go to college and want to have babies outside of marriage and without husbands. Sitra Achra is me. Now, as I sit on the other side, I try and find a way to see the two sides of myself together, to create a conversation between tradition and heresy.
