From the series A Fragile Shift of Sight

This work by Sophie de Vos unfolds as both an image and a window. Against a deep black background, fragile flowers emerge in the foreground, suspended between clarity and obscurity. They are seen not directly, but through textured glass once part of an actual window frame. Its flowing surface recalls falling rain, transforming the act of looking into something layered and elusive.

For Sophie de Vos, art functions as a window onto another world; a threshold to the imaginary. By placing the photograph behind this glass, she invites the viewer to experience the image as something glimpsed rather than fully grasped - a fleeting vision that is both present and just beyond reach. At the same time, the glass evokes a sense of protection, as if the flowers are shielded in their own fragile space, reminding us of the delicate boundary between distance and intimacy, reality and imagination.
