Masha Sha

Situated in an ambiguous space between a personal poetic plea and a universal protest slogan, Masha Sha’s drawings point to basic needs and paradoxical experiences. The phrases she deploys come out awkward and somehow wrong--often misspelled or with letters written backwards--they turn time and meaning inside-out. Sometimes they simply point out how strange our colloquial turn of phrases appear when isolated and blown-up to absurd proportions. In a time when almost anyone can say almost anything but be lost in the massive amount of voices fighting for our attention, Masha Sha’s work flattens all opponents.
