Nazanin Alipour Jeddi, known as Sitaaj, is an Iranian American photographer and translator based in New Hampshire, USA. Born in Tehran, she is a self-taught artist whose practice centers

on the emotional and cultural dimensions of womanhood. Her work explores identity, memory, and the passage of time through carefully composed, often symbolic imagery. Drawing from her experiences between two cultures, Sitaaj creates visual

narratives that reflect the tension between tradition and individuality, intimacy and distance. In her ongoing series Lingering Shadows, she examines the invisible weight of domesticity and

the inner worlds of women, offering a quiet yet powerful commentary on resilience and selfhood. Through photography, she seeks not only to document but to evoke - transforming silence and

emotion into a shared visual language.
