Yasmin Sharabi explores her heritage and identity, 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, Sharabi 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, Sharabi expresses her nostalgia for a particular moment and for the signs, symbols and synchronicities that existed within it. Sharabi often takes her work a step further and creates conceptual and often illusory compositions, based on her real-life studies. What results are hauntingly contemplative drawings, with subtle, yet valuable messages.
