Ikh gay dersteiln / Let me tell you something

“Let me tell you Something" is a bilingual illustrated memoir and art project that bridges the personal and the cultural, tracing the migration of my Jewish family from pre-WWII Romania to Peru. The project intertwines family recipes, Yiddish and Quechua expressions turned into illustrations, and personal narratives to explore themes of identity, diaspora, and cultural resilience. Through visual storytelling, I delve into how food and language carry memory across generations, and how contemporary technology—specifically WhatsApp—helps maintain ties to ancient traditions in the modern world. This work continues to spark conversations across Jewish communities through art talks and public presentations.

I believe in storytelling as a political and poetic act, especially in cultures of silence or fragmentation. My practice is an attempt to rebuild continuity where it was broken, to honor the voices of women whose wisdom often lives in recipes, jokes, or WhatsApp messages. Through visual language, I seek to make those moments visible.” RGB
