The ever-present theme in Sophie Steengracht's work is transformation, change, mythology, and the interconnectedness of humans and nature. In her drawings, paintings, sculptures, and last year also a VR film with a soundscape, flora, fauna, the earth, and the sky are always present.
She relates to the word animism as a way of being in the world. She wants to express what she perceives and everything around her in a state of constant change and flux. All particles are alive, and even seemingly non-living things contain an essence of life that is crucial for other things to exist. Everything moves, lives, and is interconnected. One cannot exist without the other.
