Inspiration

My work represents the rhythm of shock, loneliness, and empowerment through an ambiguous & intimate lens, creating an endless void of vulnerable interpretations. I conceive understandings of these hurtful and liberating feelings by relating to insects and plants. Nature serves as both a savior and an opposer to elude to life's waves

​

⤫

I play with depicting nature elements that exude innocence to create a situation where they are nothing but a weapon, just as some people can disguise. Contrastively, I also transform nature that is outwardly aggressive by constructing conditions

where they are attempting to protect,

questioning desires

Bio

Mixed media artist, Tricia Sham amplifies life’s deflating and elating experiences by conducting hyper-focused observations of insects and plants. Her creative process revolves around actively viewing her surroundings puzzled together by abstract(ed) shapes and is influenced by the connection between posture and emotions.

With the emphasis on translating these mental states onto surfaces ranging from matboard to canvas, Sham’s work has been described as symbols of strength through vulnerability.

​

Most known for discovering links between insects’ actions and human experiences, she has occupied a number of physical spaces including Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg as a part of the 2023 Rays Artist Series & Red Dot/Spectrum Miami. Sham hopes to increase or revive others’ excitement for nature and for viewers to feel the beauty in vulnerability; to finally feel what they could never describe.
