Star Rafiee Bandary

I’m a multidisciplinary artist based in Toronto, currently pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts at OCAD University. My practice spans photography, ceramics, jewelry, mold-making, and found-object work, often grounded in personal memory, cultural identity, and the quiet poetry of everyday life.
I’m drawn to materials and moments that feel overlooked yet deeply resonant—whether casting a pair of feet in plaster, printing photographs in the darkroom, or assembling thrifted objects into intimate, narrative compositions.
Originally from Iran, my work is informed by Persian traditions and domestic histories, blending craft, storytelling, and experimentation in tactile and personal ways. I’m interested in slowness, in sentiment, and in the subtle beauty of handmade objects.
