Sophie Agafonova is a Ukrainian textile artist based in New York. Her work explores texture, softness, and form as a way to create a sense of calm in a fast-moving world.
Through textiles, Sophie creates quiet, tactile spaces — works that feel like a pause, a breath, a place to return to. Soft, neutral, and pastel tones shape compositions inspired by the idea of home not as a place, but as an inner state we carry with us.
Having experienced displacement due to war, Sophie’s practice became a way to preserve balance and tenderness through making. Each piece reflects the beauty of imperfection, the comfort of handmade objects, and the emotional power of touch.
Blending traditional textile techniques with a contemporary approach to form, her works invite closeness, warmth, and a personal connection. Every detail is intentional — designed to awaken memory, emotion, and a quiet sense of belonging.
