Ophav D-Mo Zajac (photographer)
BeskrivelseColour photograph by D-Mo Zajac of a Sofer (scribe), Bondi Junction, 2013. The scribe, Shlomo Israel, transcribes Torah scrolls, Tefillin and Mezuzzot.
D-Mo Zajac’s photographs of the Sydney Jewish community are a reflection of who she is. Having been being raised as a Protestant Christian in Poland, she was 32 years old when her mother eventually revealed to her the secret of her grandmother’s Jewish heritage. Inspired by her discovery of her Jewish ancestry, in 2010, D-Mo set out to document the religious life of Sydney’s Orthodox community, capturing private and communal moments. Her work aims to capture her personal journey of self-discovery and budding sense of belonging through her engagement with the community.
