Sophia Aftab

Statement

I am a multidisciplinary artist working primarily through sculpture and assemblage. I use materials as signifiers that point to, but never fully resolve, meaning. My materials are chosen for their emotional resonance— fabric carries touch, metal remembers tension, etc. Assemblage and reconstruction allow me to reveal the complexities between what an object once was and what it can become. My process is guided by listening to the material as much as shaping it.

My work seeks to question how identity, morality, and meaning are shaped by the images, objects, and stories that surround us. I try to create spaces where we, as collective humans, can reconsider what we find familiar, and why.
