Food serves as a vessel for cultural memory and belonging in this papercut inspired by the lore of Lower East Side pickle vendors and Jewish deli traditions. The vintage pickle jar becomes both an object of nostalgia and a tribute to the ways food preserves history, identity, and community across generations.

A playful classic, reimagined in color and light.

This original papercut features a vintage-style pickle jar, brought to life with layers of vibrant tissue paper placed behind the cut design. As light passes through, the colors glow and shift subtly throughout the day, giving the piece a sense of depth and movement you don’t get from a print.

Both nostalgic and eye-catching, it’s a piece that feels at home in a lively kitchen or dining space—balancing humor, tradition, and handcrafted artistry.

Each papercut is carefully cut by hand and assembled with layered color, making every piece slightly unique in tone and composition.
