The work comes first.
Yasaman wanted her site redesigned as a minimal, scroll-led gallery — following North by North West — where every work carries its own title and caption.
One rule mattered more than any other: the artworks could not be altered. Sky colours, compositions, original proportions and the order of the archive all had to stay exactly as they are.
Discovered by scrolling.
Instead of cards in a grid, the site became a gallery you move through — the attention on looking, not browsing.
A light, warm background and a single soft orange let the paintings carry all the colour.
Four rooms of a practice.
