Sophia Huang is a Taiwanese-Chinese American sculptor whose work explores the emotional residues of relationships, cultural inheritance, and identity formation. Rooted in mixed media, her practice often combines clay, resin, and surreal textures to build immersive, narrative-based sculptures that feel both deeply personal and mythically universal. Drawing from her background in design and her lived experience as a queer daughter of immigrants, she uses symbolic rituals and melting forms to critique modern identity, romantic idealization, and spiritual commodification.

Sophia’s work challenges the viewer to confront the contradictions within transformation: grief and beauty, destruction and rebirth, fantasy and emotional truth. Her current collections reflect a desire to reclaim personal narrative through visual metaphor, interrogating the systems and beliefs that have shaped her. Whether through constructed mythologies or playful subversions of sacred objects, her sculptures ask what it takes to truly see yourself clearly.
