Mythoscape explores themes of transformation and self-discovery, where the journey through nature mirrors an inward journey through the psyche. It invites viewers to reconnect with the mythic dimension of nature, seeing it not merely as a backdrop but as an active participant in the human story—a space of encounter, danger, and transformation, where every element holds the potential for magic and deeper understanding.
Azita Gandjei explores the symbolic relationship between humanity and the primal forces of nature, drawing on the archetypes found in myths and fairytales. She invites viewers on their own journey of self-discovery and transformation. Using visual language informed by shadows, reflections, and surreal compositions, her work is a means to bridge the false dichotomy between us and nature. We are one.
Gandjei is represented by Gallery House in Menlo Park, where she is one of the permanent artists, and by Ilkaa’s Gallery & Atelier in Columbus, Ohio. In 2023, her work was selected in the de Young Museum Open, and she has been part of numerous group shows, including at the San Francisco Women Artist Gallery, Center for Photographic Arts and the Twin Pines Gallery.
