The shadows are grey papier-mâché women sculptures, ornamented with different textures and materials. They are presenting women searching for their lost identity and live like shadows with rules dictated from tradition and the outside world, slaved to a destiny that is socially dictated to them. The figures are decorated with jewels and gold, metal ornaments , textile, to hide their true image...
The Shadow by Yasmin Sinai
I am standing in front of the mirror. My image has lost its color and looks like a shadow. Maybe, I can find my lost image, if I color my shadow with blue, red, pink, green….. But my shadow is still grey.
And if I ornament my shadow with gold, maybe then; I can find my lost image.
I see my shadow in the mirror. The breast is ornamented with gold, the heart is beating. But still I can’t find my image. I am crying .My tears trickling down my cheeks are two crystal earrings on my shadow.
My shadow in the mirror is grey. Ornamented with gold and crystals ,and I am still loosing my tears.
