Mythoscape interweaves tapestries of nature and myth to entwine the viewer in a deep connection with earth and the self. The project evokes the full spectrum of emotions--love, anger, fear, desire--that this connection requires.
Azita Gandjei followed her heart in 2018 by moving from the tech industry into art photography. Her style draws from the motifs of early cinema and surrealism, inviting viewers to see the intersection of reality and myth in landscapes. She finds the hard natural light of California conducive to this style. In a return to her tech industry roots, she has begun to place her images in 360 views, using virtual reality (VR) as a means for immersive art. 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 and the Twin Pines Gallery.
