Sophia Bakos is a Vancouver based multidisciplinary artist who completed her Bachelor’s Degree in Studio Arts at Concordia University in 2022. Through international residencies and exhibitions, Bakos has developed a body of textile-based collage work which unites personal photographs, recycled garments, needle-felted wool and poetry. These collages stitch together eerie yet tender memories of a painful childhood yet to be reconciled. Bakos is currently working towards obtaining her Bachelors of Education at the University of British Columbia. She intends for her work as an elementary school teacher to inspire future collage projects.
