M.Shap, born (1985) and raised in Johannesburg South Africa, immerses herself in the exploration of
human emotions through her art. Drawing from personal experiences, her work serves as her
reflection of the human interactions and reactions that she has witnessed or that she, herself, has
experienced. Her work hopes to encourage viewers to delve into their own emotional depths and
challenge their own understandings of their inner-most selves.
In her studio practice, she cultivates an environment where her conscious and unconscious mind can
intersect, allowing them to collaborate and create authentic artwork. With a focus on emotional
authenticity and connection, her art hopes to speak to the universal language of human experience,
offering a glimpse into the complexities of the human soul.
