Yazmin Dababneh was born in Illinois, but has lived in Michigan for most of her life. After high school, she moved to Orlando to study Biomedical Sciences at the University of Central Florida. Two years later, she dropped out of pre-med to pursue a more creative path. This eventually led Yazmin to the College for Creative Studies.

Driven by my fascination of quantum physics and metaphysics, my work explores how the energy that creates matter holds the answers to how we’re all connected. All matter is composed of an unseen energy that permeates the entire universe, connecting people and things across time and space. I approach this unseen energy through the manipulation and interaction of materials such as glass, steel, light, shadow and video projection. My work seeks to make visible these intangible ideas through material explorations that result in sculpture, installation, experimental film and immersive experiences. The resulting objects and installations evoke a sense of interconnectedness and wonder by exploring ideas of quantum entanglement and perception of reality.
