Social Commentary

Nancy Schwartz Katz’s social commentary work explores human connection, collective memory, and moral responsibility through layered symbolism and meticulous craft. Drawing on history, text, and lived experience, her work addresses themes of belonging, empathy, and continuity without didacticism. Using papercutting she creates visually restrained yet emotionally resonant pieces that invite reflection, asking viewers to slow down and consider each piece's meaning, creating space for dialogue and reflection.
