I’ve formed a process in the studio that unpacks the notions of time, borders, separation, and expansion to talk about individual and collective behavior. To imagine how group dynamics manifest through systems of behavior bearing similarities with nature on almost every scale. I have developed a visual vocabulary using symbolic signifiers of Microbes, Groups of Birds, and Chairs to contextualize ideas of freedom and restraint, escape than occupied. Allowing both chance and intention to propagate personal and epistemological narratives through abstraction and figuration in Painting. In search of forming controlled chaotic environments that have an underline order to them. I have devised a coded language by assigning letters to each chair part -the process functions as an algorithm to deconstruct chair parts in their atomized states as collectives. Excerpts from Sufi poetry are further coded into the fictive language to deploy context into the paintings, analogous to Egyptian Hieroglyphics. The script can be deciphered via a reference key, which I can now read and write. The paintings also contain thin, translucent paint layers using an additive layering process. Every pour of paint is dried in a natural condition toying with time and memory in ways nature evolves, taking up to 2-3 months, demarcating territories that I now call Settlers. The work invites the viewers to moments of renegotiation, re-invention, and reconciliation by re-introducing a familiar functional object such as a chair that contains a purpose and agency to become a mode of language, a code, and a pattern to imitate an ultimate expression of nature - purposely probing the audience to redefine how we understand things and find our own individual way out of ideological traps. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5247369fe4b0c38c3f1a9b32/1724184328050-WIE317WYS5WSOW2EXABX/The+dance+between+form+and+formlessness.jpg Painting -

In the fall of 2017, I started growing microbes at the RISD NatureLab with a box of 12 Petri dishes, swabs, and gloves to find out how they colonize on a micro-scale. In the first test, I collected samples of organisms that grow on inorganic things such as a leaf, tree, shoe, bike, etc. It took a cycle of 24 hours for the bacteria to appear from their dormant state; within the next cycle, the colonies kept multiplying. My first attempt to grow these organisms in the petri dish was not enough until I preceded my second and third tests, including samples from public spaces, including a public park and some fast food joints. For the third test, I took human skin samples of 12 people: I divided them into four groups, sets of those associated in close approximate. Samples were placed as individuals, in pairs and groups, with tests running for 12 days at 21 Celsius. These species expand and grow with the potential ability to communicate and reproduce by the billions from a single cell, instigating a process of colonization that seemingly protects and demarcates. When further magnified, you can see glimpses of a complex cosmos, both stirring and revivifying human imagination. Observing these morphologies of colony growth is an intentional curiosity to understand if such a thesis could link to human territories and divisions. We draw visible and invisible boundaries in sociological spaces, constricting our sense of individuality. The question of belonging seems pertinent no matter the scale and emphasizes the need to constantly struggle to understand the myriad of social behaviors, stigmas, and human persistence and preservation. But how do we navigate our current understanding if divisions are potentially the inexorable archetype, even on a micro-scale? Predator and prey relationships in animals have become a way for me to categorize opposing behaviors, propagating and self-classifying human behavior to depict a sense of duality in all of us. The collective can provide sustenance, protection, and growth and can also be ominous. So, this symbiosis leads to my investigation of systems within systems and ideas around binaries. This is an ongoing research that I am currently exploring to form narratives that can speak of the symbiotic relationship we have with nature on various scales. *The images in this gallery are an archived selection of live bacterial colonies shot directly from the microscope; some were later treated using Intaglio Printing Processes on archival paper. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5247369fe4b0c38c3f1a9b32/1557169721040-8VHJABD7X2BF05LSIX6C/Alex_29nov_day3_time444181129_001.JPG Micro Colonies | 2017 - Ongoing Volunteer 3 Human Skin Bacteria - Day 1 The image was taken with an Olympus IX51 Inverted Microscope. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5247369fe4b0c38c3f1a9b32/1567708822312-5GYATMDASA73M3E2EHX5/polymerbeckies3+copy.jpg Micro Colonies | 2017 - Ongoing Volunteer 1 Human skin microbial colony - Day 2 Olympus IX51 Inverted Microscope https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5247369fe4b0c38c3f1a9b32/1568100566622-WSLJRMQ0YBKIT8QHG2YS/b3.jpg Micro Colonies | 2017 - Ongoing Volunteer 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5247369fe4b0c38c3f1a9b32/1549845345393-AF5H8DTC6Y1GGWTSKEW8/8feb_bench180208_007.JPG Micro Colonies | 2017 - Ongoing Micro Colonies (public park bench bacteria) - image was taken with Olympus IX51 Inverted Microscope in 2017. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5247369fe4b0c38c3f1a9b32/1569171882308-NCHWIQLDM0SYQ3IRO1DK/human+skin+bacteria+-Petri+view4.jpg Micro Colonies | 2017 - Ongoing - Social/Anti-Social This study involved collecting 10 human skin samples from individual volunteers who exhibited diverse social and anti-social behaviors to investigate the types of microbes present on these individuals. Each sample was cultured in Petri dishes under carefully controlled conditions for a duration of 12 days. The primary aim was to observe and analyze the similarities and differences in bacterial colony behavior thriving on human hosts with varying social tendencies. The accompanying image depicts populated Petri dishes, showcasing the microbial colonies found on those with more social tendencies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5247369fe4b0c38c3f1a9b32/1568064844711-5SFSCZCH5BXYL2OEPQFP/28jan_harrys180128_004.JPG Micro Colonies | 2017 -

Faultline Cement, concrete, gold gilding 36 x 30 cm 2016 Fracture reframes yet revisits familiar landscapes in focusing on construction sites in the UAE. Miniature concrete walls were built, broken, and rebuilt to reinstate the fault lines, intentionally damaged, discarded, and rusted to iterate the ancient Japanese philosophy of Wabi-Sabi that sums up the core intention behind this project. The philosophy recognizes the transient and the imperfection of everything and redefines what we perceive as beautiful, perfect, or functional. Repaired walls depict human existence as fragile and vulnerable by embracing perfection in imperfection in nature and manmade systems. Sounds of construction work and an interview with one of the workers were incorporated along with standing sculptures of scaled-down walls, drawing on the labor community's absence and hard work that goes into making a building in the UAE at present. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5247369fe4b0c38c3f1a9b32/1549846093734-W3RX5EGA16HO0441G4F9/Zahra%2BJewanjee%2BPortfolio%2Bimage%2B9.jpg Fracture | 2017 - Reclaimed - Cinder block from Abu Dhabi Port Cement, concrete, gouache, gold gilding 20 X 43.5 cm 2016 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5247369fe4b0c38c3f1a9b32/1549846147620-FNP5PZM1RQ3NKZRLPVJJ/DSC_0317ZAHRA%2BJEWANJEE%2Bseaf%2Bshow%2Bimages%2B-%2Blow%2Bres%2Bedits.jpg Fracture | 2017 - Rust Cement, concrete & rust 36 x 30 cm 2016 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5247369fe4b0c38c3f1a9b32/1480692928343-TAPDLL7986E17USRGO6P/DSCF9730.JPG Fracture | 2017 Rust - Detail I https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5247369fe4b0c38c3f1a9b32/1586462654372-FXZKSDWCMJ5NU21QS1DW/DSC_0334+copy.jpg Fracture | 2017 Rust - Detail II https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5247369fe4b0c38c3f1a9b32/1586462226372-IQXI5IJ1NB4I3OOL5A8N/DSCF9769.JPG Fracture | 2017 Rust - Detail III https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5247369fe4b0c38c3f1a9b32/1586462513990-PGT6XU4PLSQIDQ5YI3UQ/DSC_0391.jpg Fracture | 2017 - Brick by brick Cement, concrete & acrylic paint 36 x 36 cm 2016 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5247369fe4b0c38c3f1a9b32/1586462937617-KCV7ZOCKHKJFRSK7GRIO/DSC_0397+copy.jpg Fracture | 2017 Brick by brick - Detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5247369fe4b0c38c3f1a9b32/1549846221516-CJYVJLW52JAHP3BL4YH2/11.jpg Fracture | 2017 - Transcendence The Urdu text is a quote from one of the construction workers I interviewed during my research ‘A man is nothing without education.’ Cement, concrete, gold gilding, acrylic 48 x 26 cm 2016 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5247369fe4b0c38c3f1a9b32/1480691683086-8OP9HM2H703DOE6PYQNM/DSC_0442ZAHRA+JEWANJEE+seaf+show+images+-+low+res+edits.jpg Fracture | 2017 Transcendence - Detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5247369fe4b0c38c3f1a9b32/1485365313414-830UTH086WAAD82AU7AZ/Zahra+Jewanjee+Portfolio+image+13.jpg Fracture | 2017 - Split Cement, concrete, gold gilding 36 x 23 cm 2016 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5247369fe4b0c38c3f1a9b32/1549846257994-ZJAC4ULBWW4CWBM0RD1A/Zahra+Jewanjee+Portfolio+image+15.jpg Fracture | 2017 Porcelain fired with slip, oil paint, gold gilding 60 x 190 cm 2016 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5247369fe4b0c38c3f1a9b32/1485359176035-7LJR3FFBOFIMPN5UR7YL/tile+detail+2.jpg Fracture | 2017 Fibonacci cracks - Detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5247369fe4b0c38c3f1a9b32/1586463066407-FHF2QC13SJL9NOI8X220/IMG_2754.jpg Fracture | 2017 http://www.zjewanjee.com/you-have-almost-made-me-look-human-2016 daily 0.75 2020-04-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5247369fe4b0c38c3f1a9b32/1492801684713-239YPXXSYPNM7HY9M5OD/Zahra+Jewanjee+Portfolio+image+010.jpg You Have Almost Made 'Me' Look Human | 2016 - Claustrophobia (Detail) Polymer acrylic, acetate, ink 40 x 38 cm 2015 The work explores cultural and social overtones projected onto storefront mannequins, reflecting the nature of the environment they embody while existing between reality and illusion.

cm 2015 The solo show ‘Murmuration’ examines natural systems by mathematically deconstructing the phenomena of murmuration by starlings. The sublimely gracious movement of the group forming, merging, and almost melting away in real time is an incredibly choreographed display; its visual beauty belies its strategic and existential necessity. These tiny birds protect themselves from the prey, forming and moving in unison within seconds, appearing to be larger each day before they rest on trees for the night. No bird collides as they migrate in this mass performance instead swarms in defense, analogous to human beings acting with a hive mind. I am extremely drawn to this natural occurrence; hence this body of work became trying to understand the flight of these birds with such precision. I started drawing on paper, emulating stains and textures of distant landscapes and began dissecting these movements using Fibonacci sequences, the golden mean, and Euclidean geometry to split them into small fragmented sections creating a systematized dispersion and then painted those fragments to represent each shape as a bird symbolically. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5247369fe4b0c38c3f1a9b32/1586250433737-4A15I6OO7KEEG5QB8I4J/Murmuration+.jpg Murmuration | 2015 - Flock II Graphite shavings on arches 2015 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5247369fe4b0c38c3f1a9b32/1586250444778-ZKCI4VV9FQ8DQFS3UIHL/Murmuration+3.jpg Murmuration | 2015 - Flock III Graphite shavings on arches 2015 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5247369fe4b0c38c3f1a9b32/1429643657378-5WI2ZYEJW1HSH9EI71RE/Migrants.jpg Murmuration | 2015 - Migrants Coffee, acrylic on Fabriano paper, 37 x 57 cm 2015 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5247369fe4b0c38c3f1a9b32/1429643399469-CM6ZYQUJ7EGDYM8NLQTT/Gensis.jpg Murmuration | 2015 - Genesis Coffee, acrylic on Fabriano paper 37 x 57 cm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5247369fe4b0c38c3f1a9b32/1426957736594-TPZB822SW5QZ3PS0N2UA/2015_0534..max-1024x1024.jpeg Murmuration | 2015 - Spiral Coffee, acrylic on paper 10.5 x 14.8 cm 2014 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5247369fe4b0c38c3f1a9b32/1388434183439-VB8XJA8FWVNVN3RBM440/11.jpg Murmuration | 2015 - Celestial Odyssey II Acrylic, water-based oil on canvas 91 x 91 cm 2013 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5247369fe4b0c38c3f1a9b32/1493660681347-D7EQQD8NVF36N0AMAT8Q/Zahra+Jewanjee-Title-Celestial+Odyssey.jpg Murmuration | 2015 - Celestial Odyssey Graphite, water-based oil on canvas 91 x 91 cm 2007 http://www.zjewanjee.com/the-promised daily 0.75 2020-04-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5247369fe4b0c38c3f1a9b32/1404327074736-E9K2SE6SS9QEQTCXCWQM/coverpage+final.jpg The Promised Land | 2014 ‘The Promised land’ had me narrating themes in the context of the UAE, exploring the visual landscape built every day by an expatriate labor class who will never occupy what they create, a vital yet voiceless sector of society. To create this body of work, I decided to use wallpapers that are excessively used to fabricate offices and residences in this region. The readymade wallpapers were brought from ‘Dragon Mart’ supplies ‘Made in China goods. Dragon Mart caters to all sorts of industries selling all goods and is a type of brand to locals. Using a UV printing method, the construction sites' images were layered directly on these industrial wallpapers repeating, duplicating, and reiterating the city's image. The final layer was a painted depiction of manual workers, their journeys, totems of their everyday lives, and the dreams and wishes they had as immigrants.

The mural paintings consisted of intricate patterns with labor-intensive methods to depict narratives that synthesized my formal concerns and became a description of the interaction with marginalized communities, which resulted in my thesis show,’ Binary Lives,’ in 2007. The paintings depicted an extracted pattern of tiger skin, a natural predatory animal, as a symbolic reference to talk about opposing relationships. The pattern was then repeated using mathematical sequences to achieve a mesh-like structure, and it was then deconstructed to break the order of the arrangement to transcend visual complexity. Marginalized communities and social matrices that dominated the city’s landscape made me think of how people unite and form different social groups and why some exist in small groups. These groups appeared seemingly interwoven within each other. They made me think of connecting anthropological responses to natural systems that appear disorderly, fragmented, and disarrayed yet have an inward order, making me think of fractal relationships. Hypothetically framing these factions in a self-similar pattern, a pattern of behavior, a social pattern, a pattern of relationships, and thus dictating a complex system was a point of departure to create an extended body of work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5247369fe4b0c38c3f1a9b32/1388431439234-11D5L5J3EPCDHTO4MTAO/4.jpg Binary Lives | 2008 - 82 Martyrs Oil on canvas 243.84 x 243.84 cm 2007 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5247369fe4b0c38c3f1a9b32/1388431439009-18399ZAJURWOK6AGC47Y/5.jpg Binary Lives | 2008 - 82 Martyrs - Detail 82 Martyrs - Detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5247369fe4b0c38c3f1a9b32/1527210737681-UN5O34NSDLVTKSPSQ4R7/6.jpg Binary Lives | 2008 - Breaking and Entering Oil & chalk on canvas 243.84 x 243.84 cm 2007 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5247369fe4b0c38c3f1a9b32/1388431440904-A4BLYA2OEXCTSZTS2DNE/7.JPG Binary Lives | 2008 Breaking and Entering - Detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5247369fe4b0c38c3f1a9b32/1388431437680-L5AV9RBYW9U57MA9WP05/3.jpg Binary Lives | 2008 - Sapless and Sinewy Water-based oil on Panel 45 x 50cm 2006 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5247369fe4b0c38c3f1a9b32/1388431438263-0TZZSDO3Z2KLA5N206IF/1.jpg Binary Lives | 2008 - Submission Oil, modeling paste on canvas 152 x 213 cm 2007 http://www.zjewanjee.com/contact-1 daily 0.75 2023-10-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5247369fe4b0c38c3f1a9b32/255d442f-c08d-4bf8-b38f-2f6bb36737fd/IMG_3703.jpeg CONTACT - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5247369fe4b0c38c3f1a9b32/cc1e6f86-595b-4f66-8cc4-4e04d33ba3c8/IMG_1705+2.jpeg CONTACT - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5247369fe4b0c38c3f1a9b32/f77c137b-c05c-4e57-94a2-85bb788306d9/IMG_7790.jpeg CONTACT - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. http://www.zjewanjee.com/press daily 0.75 2026-04-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5247369fe4b0c38c3f1a9b32/d927f5f5-7075-4e98-b045-b03a207b5503/Lee+Krasner+Portrait2.jpg PRESS - Make it stand out I am beyond grateful and over the moon to announce that I am a recipient of the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant 2024.
