Lost Postcards

This project reinterprets the work of Zeev Raban using ai, generating postcards that contrast his idealized art nouveau style with a realistic portrayal of life in the Yishuv. Instead of romanticized imagery, the postcards—built from hundreds of generated images—depict the true hardships of early settlers, from harsh climates to communal kibbutz life. By blending Raban’s aesthetic with documentary elements, the project offers a unique fusion of nostalgia and realism, exploring how ai can be a tool used by designers and not an entity that dictates the design.
