Yasmin Sharabi often explores consciousness, through her drawings of memories of a specific moment in time.
Derived from photographs that either she has taken or that have been passed down through generations, these are replicas of real scenes. Despite their lyricism, nothing is fictionalized. As she draws, Yasmin attempts to magnify the features of the snapshot, to measure and analyze each detail and to expand them to scale. Through this process, by way of the gestures and marks, Yasmin expresses her nostalgia for a particular moment and for the signs, symbols and synchronicities that existed within it.
What results are hauntingly contemplative drawings, that consider inheritance through their subtle symbolism.
