Aaron Yassin creates photographic composites, drawings, installations, and videos that at once embrace and question the transcendent belief in abstraction. Photographs of architectural subjects are multiplied to form intricate patterns referencing Islamic ornamentation, Buddhist mandalas, gothic stained glass, and Modernist abstraction. Simple line drawings suggest impossible, complex, minimalist structures. And architectural installations utilize mirrors, video, and sound to incorporate the viewer with mesmerizing effect.
