Seeking to break free from her previous body of work, which conformed to preconceived notions of aesthetics learned in design school, Sasky immersed herself in an intensive mentorship program in June 2024. Through a rigorous investigation, she developed a solid, personal visual language that merges selfies, black-and-white photocopies, illustration, and collage on paper to create limited series of intimate books. Told like screenplays, these books position the artist as both protagonist and narrator. Under the alter ego “Jazmín”, Sasky uses her defiant selfies to speak candidly about her life: the expectations and evolving realities of being a woman in her fifties, the complexities of childhood trauma, migration, identity and belonging, and her ambivalence toward religion.

During a casual urban sketching experience in Oaxaca, Mexico, Sasky became aware of the energy and imprints the city left on her. She decided to take a closer look and investigate the notion of space, both at the micro and macro levels. Then the settings of her narratives became deeply personal: her childhood room, kitchen, atelier, and the cities of Vancouver and Oaxaca; spaces she has inhabited and that, in turn, inhabit her. Once she felt comfortable with her new visual language, the artist empowered “Jazmín” to turn inward and examine memory, trauma, and transformation. Through her books, she confronts moments of introspection, vulnerability, and self-inquiry, offering a window into dilemmas rooted in lived experience and harsh truths.
