Yasmeen's work considers the disciplines of architecture and design at their intersection with craft. She collects architectural stone remnants and explores these materials within the framework of both natural and constructed environments. Using stone masonry and sculptural assemblage to conjure form, she revisits how these found materials perform under new circumstances while still alluding to the histories that came to shape them.
Stone, as a medium, both depicts and retains history— it is the raw substance of the earth, perpetually in a state of transformation. The physical properties of each stone remnant, altered by time and use, guide her creative process. When manipulated by hand, stone reveals its mercurial qualities displaying unexpected lightness and malleability. Reshaping these rigid and rectilinear remnants, Yasmeen creates soft shapes from hard materials.

In crafting these pieces, she chooses to work at the scale of objects and furniture as this allows for interactions to emerge between materials, forms, bodies, and space.
