Mari Ansh (b. 1992, Russia) lives and works in Philadelphia, USA.

In her work, Ansh works with painting, drawing, and collage. She explores magnetic presence, identity, memory, and the tension between visibility and disappearance. Rooted in personal experience, her work creates spaces where vulnerability and inner strength coexist, examining how the body responds to attention, perception, and social structures. Through layered materials and symbolic imagery, she reflects on transformation, autonomy, and the fragile balance between exposure and self-preservation.
