Sofie Muller

The 'Alabaster Mentalis' series by the Ghent artist Sofie Muller (b. 1974) cannot fail to move. Her sculptures of isolated heads show their physical and psychological wounds in a manner that is simultaneously raw and poetic. Craftsmanship and aesthetics engage in a striking dialogue with the irregular alabaster. In these works, Muller subtly depicts the universality of the human condition.
