Artist Biography

She is a person with a galaxy in her eyes and a universe in her mind.

Based in Dallas, Texas, Shaghayegh Ashouri is a multi-disciplinary artist whose work spans a wide variety of mediums. Shaghayegh was talented in art, a passion that naturally led her to earn her high school diploma, associate degree, and bachelor’s degree in graphic design.  Her background in graphic design strengthened her ability to integrate manual techniques with digital design tools.

Immediately after completing her undergraduate degree, her talent and professional skill set quickly opened opportunities at renowned companies. Her career took her to gain expertise, including print art, exhibition design systems,  branding, and UI/UX design & mentorship as part of her role as she has always had a passion for learning and sharing knowledge throughout her life.

Parallel with graphic design, her soul expressed itself through fine art & research, with a focus on the deep theme of “time” psychology, and human complexity which led her to pursue a Master of Fine Arts in Visual Arts and Technology at the University of Texas at Dallas, where she graduated with a 4.00 GPA. Today, Shaghayegh’s practice brings together design, art, technology, and critical inquiry.

The Domino's Effect

Interaction part- This interactice piece reflects my ongoing interest in psychological manipulation, societal conditioning, and the passage of time. Using repetition, tension, and balance, the work visualizes the fragility of human behavior when caught in cycles of influence. Each “domino” represents an individual or a moment, standing alone yet deeply connected to what came before and what will follow.
The audience engages with the piece by standing in front of the projection, allowing their shadows to become an integral part of the artwork.
