In the Fading Memories series, Yousefian employed the same technique as in her Self-Portraits series. She created negative collages by tediously cutting up negatives from old photo albums depicting friends and family into unrecognizable fragments and later reconstructing them by gluing them back into new, abstracted arrangements. Looking at the resulting prints, one witnesses the passage of time and the fragmentation and fading of memories – memories of friends, family, celebration, travel, and other elements of life. Her work in this series evokes a holistic approach – each face, each place, each memory represents the entire composition of a life. For Yousefian, it is a lifetime of attachments that makes one human and whole, but this can only be grasped by re-viewing one’s memories.
