About Me

I am Nazanin Alipour Jeddi, known as Sitaaj, an Iranian-American photographer and translator based in New Hampshire, USA. I was born in Tehran and am a self-taught artist whose practice centers on the emotional and cultural dimensions of womanhood.

In my work, I explore themes of identity, memory, and the passage of time through carefully composed, often symbolic imagery. Drawing from my experience of living between two cultures, I create visual narratives that reflect the tension between tradition and individuality, intimacy and distance.

In my ongoing series Lingering Shadows, I examine the invisible weight of domesticity and the inner emotional worlds of women, offering a quiet yet powerful reflection on resilience and selfhood. Through photography, I seek not only to document but to evoke—transforming silence and emotion into a shared visual language.
