In the Diaries series, as the title suggests, Yousefian used pages from her original diaries. These diaries, originally written in calendar books, contained memories and stories spanning several years of Yousefian’s life beginning in 1993, two years before she emigrated from Iran. Carefully going through each and every page, she cut out all of her hand-written sentences with a blade, leaving only the surrounding blank space on each page, the dates on the calendar pages, as well as important historic events. She inserted each page in clear plastic sleeves with a mirror film behind it. Each of the ten pieces in the series is color coded based on the color of the calendar that she used. Standing in front of these pieces and looking closely at the pages, one can get a glimpse of a faint reflection of oneself in the mirror films showing through the openings where the artist’s hand-written stories had once existed. The mirror becomes a metaphor and tells each viewer their own unique story. The diaries are no longer the artist’s personal story as they change with each observer.
