transformation.Yasmeen witnessed the devastating impacts of war, an experience that profoundly reshaped her worldview

and serves as inspiration for her exhibition "Soulscape." This body of work explores the complexities of displacement,

memory, and the humanspirit's capacity to endure and evolve. In her creative process, Yasmeen views the canvas as a space

of infinite possibilities, engaging in a meditative and intuitive approach that allows figures and forms to naturally

emerge.Living in diverse cultural environments—from Qatar to Sudan to Oman—has influenced Yasmeen’s art, as she

weaves together contrasting elements like light and shadow, nature and interior spaces, to reflect the interconnectedness

of all things. Her work transcends the ordinary, inviting viewers into a dreamlike world that offers a reflection on life’s

unpredictability and the shared narratives of humanity. Through "Soulscape" and her broader body of work, Yasmeen aims

to speak to the core of human experience, reminding us that we are all part of a larger, ever-evolving picture.d interior
