"My work is a mirror held up to contradiction—social critique wrapped in pop, vulnerability cloaked in chaos. "
SYNC, born Shani Ynclan, is a self-taught, multi-disciplinary visual artist based in Johannesburg. Her practice spans painting, ink drawing, embroidery, rug tufting, and experimental mixed media. Rooted in a visual language she describes as “experimental pop fusion,” SYNC's work explores the psychological, emotional, and cultural complexities of contemporary life. Her unique aesthetic blends bold graphic elements with intimate, often confrontational subject matter, positioning her as one of South Africa’s rising voices in new media expression.
