Yasmin Watts is a British-Indian artist whose sculptural installations inhabit the threshold between architecture and the human body, crafting immersive environments that invite both sensory and emotional engagement. Drawing from her architectural training and Zoroastrian heritage, her practice explores how spatial structures influence experience—through movement, memory and material.
Yasmin constructs intimate spatial narratives that gently resist formality within the public sphere. Her sculptures, simultaneously grounded and open, suggest shelters, skins, and thresholds. They reflect human form as it exists today, offering spaces that hold the traces of gesture, memory and silence. Each piece becomes a dynamic focal point, designed to foster human connection and interaction.
Working with sustainable materials and hybrid techniques, Yasmin places the figure within imagined urban landscapes—spaces that feel both real and abstracted. These environments operate as contemplative stages where tensions unfold between stillness and motion, proximity and distance. Often caught between gesture and pause, her figures evoke the inner lives of modern subjects negotiating identity and belonging.
Themes of migration, belonging, and transformation run through Yasmin’s work, where architectural forms become metaphors for emotional states. Light, shadow, and spatial rhythm guide the viewer’s experience, inviting reflection on the silent structures that shape how we inhabit space, relate to others, and understand ourselves.
