Marjan Khatibi.

I am a visual designer, media artist, and illustrator from Tehran, Iran. I specialize in Design, Animation, and Art Direction. My illustrations are meant to provoke emotion and inspire conversation with my audience. My interdisciplinary work expresses complex ideas in an accessible way, and I use different mediums to achieve this.
I have combined my endless love for creativity and design with my passion for gender equality. To that end, I debuted my practice as a media artist with a project to raise awareness for gender equity using Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality, thereby evoking empathy, understanding, and newfound passion within my audience.

Welcome to my nightmare

A VR interactive installation

I often have repetitive nightmares rooted in my past and the unfair societal rules I grew up with. Some beliefs were common between my people, and if not followed accordingly, the undertaker would be blamed and, even worse, shamed. Purity was defined by an untouched body-a a virgin: sinless and pristine. Late at night while sleeping, I’m haunted by my uncommon disbeliefs. When it’s quiet, dark, and still, dark fears gather as these surreal figures.
