Die Monster, die ich rief?

Sophia Muriel works with everyday objects and textiles, particularly worn clothing, which she transforms into sculptures and installations. Her works often appear fragile, yet belie the underlying solidity of both the materials and the themes they embody.

Drawing on her own biography, Muriel explores notions of vulnerability, resilience, transience and mortality. By using familiar, everyday materials, she creates accessible points of connection that invite viewers to reflect on personal experiences. In doing so, she brings to the surface themes often suppressed in a world shaped by efficiency and performance, opening up a space for engagement with what usually remains hidden.
