Her Legacy is a deeply considered body of work through which Azulay reclaims and rearticulates a cultural lineage long subjected to erasure. At its center is a singular image: the El-Keswa El-Kbira, a traditional Moroccan wedding dress worn by the artist’s great aunt. This garment, preserved only in a family photograph and memory, serves as a visual and emotional anchor for a sustained investigation into identity, dignity, and inherited silence

Through textile assemblage and repurposed materials, Azulay translates personal history into visual form. Each work serves as an act of restoration, not of the dress itself, but of what it represents: the visibility of Sephardic Heritage within broader Jewish narratives that have often rendered it peripheral. Growing up in Israel during a period of heightened intra-Jewish tension, Azulay experienced firsthand the social pressures that demanded cultural suppression for the sake of assimilation

Now based in New York, Azulay approaches this reclamation from a position of distance, but also of clarity. Informed by years of self-inquiry and diasporic experience, Her Legacy stands as a distinct, formal meditation on cultural survival

Ronen Azulay

Born Haifa, Israel, 1973

an Israeli-born artist, azulay stays true to his origins—where he comes from both physically and spiritually—while continuing to push personal boundaries by incorporating new elements in his work. Investigating philosophical and symbolic narratives about identity, shape, transformation and adaptation, azulay creates handcrafted one-of-a-kind textile works. His expressive, abstract, and figurative works often focus on themes like the past and the present, origin and migration, family history and personal identity

azulay seeks to contribute to a healthy cultural ecosystem that is focused on sustainability. Informed by his early career as a men’s fashion designer, his practice examines the role of the consumer in our world of mass production. Using repurposed cast-off denim, leather, and textiles, Azulay’s work actively disrupts the relentless cycle of manufacturing and consumption. With his technical skills and informed eye, he further processes and transforms the materials and incorporates found objects to create a new vernacular

living and working in New York City, azulay attended the Fashion Institute of Technology and built a career for himself in the fashion industry before founding his eponymous atelier in 2018. Azulay’s work has been presented at fine art exhibitions across the country, including art Basel miami. He has created installations for Louis Vuitton, saks fifth avenue, madewell and bloomberg
