Emma Lazarus
Emma Lazarus is recognized as America's first prominent Jewish poet. This project features a recreation of her sitting room, where she penned "The New Colossus," the iconic poem displayed on the Statue of Liberty. The interactive folio invites users to delve into the life of Lazarus and the vibrant ideas and debates of late 19th-century New York.
Designed to resemble a traditional book resting on a desk, this folio is, in fact, a digital interactive experience. Each page is enriched with dynamic content, including images, videos, and infographics that animate and enhance the narrative, bringing each chapter to life.
