In the contemporary society, Hasidic Jewish community is an unorthodox group. Isolating themselves from the rest of the society, Hasidic Jewish people form a unique community. Because of the distinctness of its culture and attire, their neighborhood gives off a vibe that forces its visitors to go through an illusory experience of visiting a nation within a nation, living in their own time. As a result, when looking upon the photographs, the audiences of the photographs are not sure if the subjects are figures from the present or the past.
