Sofïa is an interdisciplinary artist and educator whose practice explores the relationships between materiality, memory, and environment. Through an intuitive approach that blends traditional and contemporary techniques, she investigates the hidden connections between organic and industrial processes, working with fibers, natural dyes, beeswax, and found materials to create tactile narratives of transformation and decay.
