From Sophia:
As a director and artist, I stubbornly force others and myself into realizing fictional situations. Fueled by both past and possible future regrets, I attempt to re-write history, and challenge what makes a life experience “real”. In the wake of unreached goals and unfulfilled desires, I construct scenarios in which failure is very likely. The result creates unlikely emotional connections, new ideals and acceptance while highlighting what’s missing.
Here is a video that she made with her parents in which they act out a scene from a Who’s The Boss script. It’s titled “That is not This – Who’s The Boss scene” and it’s positively fantastic and you should go watch it right away:
