The Flags of the Twelve Tribes
Visual Identity System based on Biblical Symbolism. This project began as a research journey into semiotics - the study of signs and how meaning is constructed and communicated visually. I explored symbolic systems across cultural contexts alongside biblical and Midrashic texts describing the flags of the twelve tribes of Israel and their distinct colors and symbols. The concept was to translate a textual symbolic system into a contemporary visual language, creating a unified system where each flag maintains its individual identity while belonging to a cohesive whole. The visual language is based on digital image compositing, image manipulation, and typographic structure, translating textual biblical symbols into a contemporary visual system.
