Willa Nasatir was born in 1990 in Los Angeles, California.[13] She attended Cooper Union and received a BFA degree in 2012.[13][14] Nasatir was a recipient of the Louis B. Comfort Tiffany Foundation Award in 2015.[4]
She uses a spectrum of material and optical technics to make images. From soaking prints in water, sanding them down, burning and freezing them, then rephotographing them through translucent textured screens.[15] Nasatir does not manipulate the images on the computer, letting the surreal effects happen entirely in the camera.[15][16]
