For Sofia, it's not about becoming famous, though she acknowledges it would be amazing if it happens. It's about something deeper—about people loving and wanting to wear her products. It's about experimenting with new materials and methods, about creating new concepts and stories, and translating them into beautiful pieces of art that a human being can wear and loves to wear. It's about relevance and integration, about involving admirers in the process and showcasing what can be achieved with tools not originally designed for this purpose. Ultimately, it's not about her; it's about what she can do. It's about creating a new kind of jewelry.
