Bio
Azin Majooni is an artist and educator whose practice reflects a profound curiosity about the interplay between materiality and memory. With an MFA in Printmaking with a primary focus on papermaking, she began her artistic career in graphic design before expanding into printmaking and papermaking. Her work explores the tactile and transformative nature of paper, bridging the tangible and intangible to weave themes of water, memory, and rhythm into a cohesive exploration of art’s ability to inspire reflection and discovery.

Statement
The tactile process of papermaking offers both insight and a meditative connection to nature. My work embodies the transformative nature of paper, where strength and fragility intertwine, and resilience quietly emerges. Inspired by the life-giving rhythm of water, it captures memory and movement, flowing across landscapes to sustain life in even the most delicate and barren places. Water and fibers merge in a dance of contrast and harmony, echoing cycles of transformation, endurance, and renewal. In this convergence of creation and survival, I explore the ongoing struggle for balance, sustenance, and regeneration.
The silent conversation between wrinkles and water plays a pivotal role in my practice. I draw constant inspiration from the desert, where water moves in quiet coordination among dry folds. The story of the desert, the qanat (ancient aqueduct), and water forms a layered cycle flowing beneath arid surfaces, sometimes lying dormant for centuries, other times surging forth briefly before retreating again.
Through my work, I invite viewers to contemplate the fragile systems both ecological and emotional that shape our collective resilience.
