Kiddush Levana, The Moon Is Your Handheld Mirror, Noa Ginzburg
Theses and Dissertations
Noa Ginzburg is weaving cast-off and hand-made objects, lights, reflections, spells, drawings, and an abundance of knots into site-responsive installations.

As a seminal artistic figure of the early Renaissance period, Michelangelo produced works of art that defined the canon of art.
