Sonya’s talk is about process, intention, and learning how to truly see.

We’ll explore:

• The difference between looking and seeing.

• Assemblage as a form of storytelling.

• Why Sonya makes the work she makes.

• Why art matters — especially now.

• How seeing can become an act of responsibility.

• Why meaning isn’t found — it’s created.

“Whether you’re an artist, a collector, or simply curious, this is a conversation about paying attention and finding possibility in unexpected places.”
