Sophia Huang (b. 1994) is a Taiwanese-Chinese American artist. She received her B.A. in Film from the University of California, San Diego. She then spent six years in product design while developing her sculpture practice before pursuing it full-time.

Her work explores the emotional residues of relationships, cultural inheritance, and identity formation. Working in mixed media, she combines clay, resin, and surreal textures to create immersive, narrative-driven sculptures that feel both deeply personal and mythically universal.

Drawing from her lived experience as a queer daughter of immigrants, Huang uses symbolic rituals and melting forms to interrogate modern identity, romantic idealization, and spiritual commodification. Her work confronts the contradictions within transformation, holding grief and beauty, destruction and rebirth, fantasy and emotional truth in tension. Through constructed mythologies and subversions of sacred objects, her sculptures ask what it takes to see oneself clearly.
