Sophia (b.1995, Los Angeles) is a mixed media artist blending alternative-process photography, painting, and sculpture to play with what is "real" vs "fake” by creating objects and images that destabilize the idea that what we see in front of us represents what is real.

There isn’t always a clear line between each artwork– pieces often get reincorporated into themselves and each other in an iterative process as sculptures grow into multiples, paintings are cut out of their canvases and stand on their own, and both often become the subjects of photographs captured in homemade cameras that are themselves sculptures.

Sophia holds a BA in the History of Art and Visual Culture from UC Santa Cruz (2017), and lives in Vermont where they have a studio above a public darkroom.

Other projects include making sounds in Me Pretty and Achoo, and activity in the dust collective known as Vacuum Capital.
