Ethel Rosenberg; Out of Focus

Spring 2022

Class Project

This museum-style interactive wooden display was designed in completion of the final project for a History class, a biographical presentation about a prominent historical Jewish figure. The laser-engraved front face is adapted from the "bomb diagram" document used to convict Ethel Rosenberg, a Jewish woman who was executed for treason during the Cold War Red Scare. The illuminated rear panel displaying quotes, symbols, and images related to Ethel Rosenberg is exposed as user turns wheel, highlighting the many independent factors involved in her case.
