About http://melisidor.com/About Wed, 04 Feb 2026 22:19:36 +0000 Mel Isidor 459065 Home  |  Recent Works  |  Installations  |  About ABOUTMel Isidor is a Haitian-American designer, urban planner, and mixed-media artist based between Seattle, WA, and Boston, MA. She draws inspiration from the built environment, exploring how cities reveal the relationship between people and culture. Her work combines photography and collage to create layered compositions that merge realism and abstraction—physically and metaphorically connecting different moments in time and space. Using imagery from her own photography, family archives, and public records, she builds scenes grounded in memory and heritage that reimagine familiar geographies through a speculative lens. Mel also leads Isidor Studio, her design practice dedicated to the intersections of art, design, and urbanism. Across both her art and studio work, she transforms research and observation into visual narratives that deepen our understanding of place and the everyday materiality that shapes it.
