Born in California to a Japanese mother and Israeli father, and moving to Israel as a child, Yekutieli imposed questions of belonging and home from the very beginning of her life, waiving the option of a singular origin and perhaps above all belonging to her studio. In this series of works, Yekutieli photographed her studio in transitioning moments and transformed them into manual paper-cutting, by doing so, she emphasizes the blurry boundaries of what is part of a narrative, and what is left out of it. Various narratives are contained within a singular piece of paper, presenting a multi-layered presence; an artwork inside an artwork, a frame within a frame, and narratives overlapping narratives. She parallels the belongings of the objects to different stories within the work to her own overlapping associations. Such as each person has a past that can be read from different points of view; also objects tend to belong to different contexts.
