Yasmine Esfandiary's practice is an investigation into the diverse cultural, visual, and mystical experiences of her life. Her exposure to both Eastern and Western cultures started when she was very young due to the frequent relocation of her family. As the daughter of an Iranian diplomat Esfandiary was privy to the cultural, political and religious realms of the many countries that she and her family travelled to and lived in throughout the Middle East and Europe. The experiences Esfandiary had while living within these different cultures initiated an internal dialogue around her personal identity and sparked a line of questioning as to which culture she belonged to.
