Sophie’s work consists of her fascination for what it means to be human. Human nature, dealing with the passing of time, transience, decay and loss are returning subjects in her work.

For human beings, these subjects are often emotionally charged, while in nature they’re the most common thing in the world. Sophie shows and questions this contrast in her work by creating images in which the human body is combined with natural materials. 

Characteristic of Sophie’s work is the pitch black backdrop where body parts seem to appear from, or disappear into, relates to the hidden, the secretive and the unknown, and as a result creates an air of mystery. 

Words are an important part of Sophie’s work as well, and this shows in her use of titles. Her photographic series tell a story both visually and through language.
