"In the Passover ritual, matzah serves as a symbol of the Jews' hurried departure from Egypt. I have sought to concretize this symbolism by constructing a Seder plate from a piece of matzah mounted on wheels. I obtained the Matzah from an Hasidic bakery in Brooklyn, which, in keeping with the spirit of haste, imposes a strict 18-minute time limit of making of its matzahs. For the wheels, I chose heavy-duty industrial casters, which emphasize expedient functionality over elegance.

"The asking of questions is also integral to the Seder ritual. To explore this theme, I met with students at six very different Jewish day schools - Reform, Orthodox, Conservative, Reconstructionist, Sephardic Conservative, and Hasidic - and asked them to come up with the question they would like to pose to God.

"I took the student's questions and typeset them in a series of six spirals, one for each of the schools I visited. I then embedded the spirals into the surface of the matzah to serve as placeholders for the six items that traditionally rest on the Seder plate."
