Sophmetries
I was looking for ways to offer a raw interpretation of the female body that could challenge the distorted representation of media images, when I found Anthropometries (1960).

Sofia’s mosaics, composed of various body parts, portray the recurring theme of human connection, which the artist often explores. For instance, she depicts two hands yearning for each other without actual contact and juxtaposes lying breasts.

Moreover, the issue of environmental impact holds great significance in her work. Sofia expresses her deep love for the sea while also voicing concern over its escalating pollution and the negative effects on its living creatures. She further critiques mass consumption and the subsequent accumulation of plastic in the ocean.
“Some souls are meant to be together, no matter where or when they are. They reach out to each other across a cosmic landscape, and their soul bond transcends physical distance and temporal boundaries. This collection celebrates the beauty and mystery of the universe. Oceans can unite, or divide, but the power of love can overcome any obstacles”.
