In her Memories series, Yousefian draws from the idea that although memory is essential to our understanding of our contemporary selves, one also has to let go of aspects of the past in order to be fully present. In this series, she used old photo album photographs of friends and family and places. To show the fading nature of memory and to suggest the passage of time, Yousefian layered these photos with sheets of transparent paper and in some pieces overlaid them with epoxy resin. While the images and faces are visible and in some cases even recognizable, they are muted, resulting in a dreamlike and transient quality. The photos, often quite small, are placed in a small plastic bag or fabric pouch and mounted on wood panels. The effect is to both preserve this archive of sentiments and attachments, but also to show how difficult it is to focus on and linger on one specific sentiment.
