We worked very closely with Shirazeh on every aspect of www.ShirazehHoushiary.com, Shirazeh wished to put a selection of work online in a way that she could control the complete experience.

The site was designed to engage the user in a world where you find yourself slowed down to a more thoughtful pace, as one experiences when viewing Shirazeh's art in a gallery or museum.
