About Manshee

  • I create provocative contemporary art that blurs reality and illusion, challenging control, desire, and perception. My work is sleek, seductive, and unsettling—perfect for those seeking concept-driven pieces that disrupt the familiar and demand attention.

    (in my own words)

  • Manshee’s art investigates icons not just as images but as ideological vessels that shape desire and control. Her work exposes how everyday objects and figures—like the sleek MacBook icon or the archetypal Young-Girl—function as tools of discipline and spectacle, masking power structures behind minimal design. Through installations and experimental materials, she reveals the quiet violence embedded in consumer culture’s promises of openness and transparency. The Young-Girl figure embodies a paradox of alienation and immortality, reflecting a corporate lifestyle brand that blurs reality and simulation. Manshee’s pieces invite viewers into a ‘tactical bad joke’—a seductive but unsettling experience that critiques the very systems it enacts.

  • Who makes this?

    Everything here — art, products, words, photos — is created, curated, and shipped by me, otherwise credited.

    Can I return or exchange something?

    No. All sales are final. Most of what I offer is made-to-order, one-of-a-kind, or limited. Once it ships, it’s yours.
    If you're unsure, ask before you buy. I'd rather clarify than clean up a mess.

    What if my item arrives damaged or wrong?

    If it’s my fault — wrong item, damaged on arrival — email me within 48 hours of delivery with photos and your order info. I’ll handle it case by case. After that window, it’s considered resolved.

    Can I get more info before ordering?

    Yes, and you should. If you want more photos, measurements, or material details, email me at manshee.zheng@gmail.com or DM on Instagram @mansheesleathergloves_. Transparency starts before checkout.

    What do you sell?

    I offer:

    • Concept-driven art objects

    • One-off or limited-run clothing

    • Prints (digital + physical)

    • 3D printed pieces

    • Occasionally: custom commissions & collaborations

    Everything is described to the best of my ability. Small variations may occur.

    Do I own the rights to the work I buy?

    No. You’re buying the object, not the rights. All designs, images, and text remain mine unless stated otherwise.
    Don’t reproduce, sell, train your AI on, or commercialize my work without permission. Ask first if you’re planning a project, editorial, exhibition, or press feature.

    How does pricing work?

    Prices are listed in euros (€). I reserve the right to update them. Nothing is confirmed until you’ve paid in full. I use secure third-party processors.

    How does shipping work?

    Shipping costs and delivery times are calculated at checkout. I’m not responsible for delays caused by postal services or freak accidents. Once it’s shipped, it’s out of my hands — literally — but I’ll help if I can.

    What happens with my data?

    I collect the minimum info needed to process your order: name, email, shipping address, and whatever your payment provider passes along.
    I don’t sell it, trade it, or use it for ads. Ever.

    Do you use cookies?

    Yes — for basic site functionality. You can block them in your browser if you like.

    Can I access or delete my data?

    Maybe, depending on your location. Email me if you have a legal or existential reason to remove your data. I’ll try to help, within reason.

    Can the site change?

    Absolutely. Prices, products, terms — all subject to change without notice. This is an evolving space, not a static marketplace.
