In essence, Sophie de Vos' practice revolves around the concept of human nature and the questions surrounding it. Contemplating about what it means to be human - covering subjects such as transience, decay, and the passing of time - allows her to dig deep, to reflect on her own perceptions regarding these topics, as well as collective experiences. For humans, these subjects are often emotionally charged, while in nature they are most common. Sophie’s work emphasises this in a very subtle way, combining living and non-living elements to capture the essence of the subject at hand. The pitch black backdrop where these elements seem to appear from - or disappear into - relates to the hidden, the secretive and the unknown, creating an air of mystery as a result.

From the series Fragments of Clarity
In What Lies Between, Sophie de Vos brings two hands and forearms together against a dark background. One appears clear and sharply defined, while the other breaks into ripples and fragments. The contrast draws attention to the curve of the fingers, the texture of skin and the space between the gestures.
The closely cropped composition gives a familiar subject an unfamiliar appearance. As contours shift and details become obscured, the eye moves between the physical presence of the hands and the distortion of their image.
