Modder\, now living in Tampa\, Florida\, creates powerful allegorical spaces through digitally manipulated\, mural-sized ballpoint pen drawings. In her most recent series\, these installations\, inspired by a Black woman’s fairytale\, blend childhood wonder with critical reflection\, tackling themes of power\, exploitation\, and resilience. Black hair emerges as a central character\, pushing the narrative forward with soft curls and defiant shapes\, embodying resistance and strength. Modder’s speculative worlds decenter broken realities to reimagine and critique oppressive structures. As her work towers above\, she invites viewers to step back into a space of childhood\, wonder\, and possibility—and\, in the best of ways\, to feel small\, open\, and ready to hear one more story. \n \n \n \n \n \n Sam Modder\n \n Posted on December 13\, 2024 by Creative Pinellas \n Sam Modder is a globe-spanning talent with roots in Nigeria and Sri Lanka\, a childhood in Sri Lanka\, and a creative base in Tampa\, Florida.
