The inspiration for my project was the story of the Aliyah of my grandmother who fled from Tunisia. They said they were going to a wedding (because if not, the Tunisian government wouldn't let them out) and only took with them clothes and the most important things. But what they could also take with them was their Jewish identity and the Jewish-Tunisian traditions. That's why I took the suitcase and put in it letters about Jewish-Tunisian traditions which stand for the things that are never left behind in Jewish history: tradition, culture, and (Jewish) identity.
