Rojano Mohammadzadeh is a self-taught Iranian visual artist currently pursuing her MFA at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Her path into the art world began through architecture, where years of working on construction sites exposed her to the raw, often overlooked materials of the built environment. Collecting discarded fragments from these sites led to her first collages, and over time, her practice expanded into painting, sculpture, and performance.
