Yala artwork explores archival material combined with unexpected encounters in life. Her art conveys storytelling bringing in different times, textures, and layers.

The material process is based on photography, but Sofia enjoys testing and presenting her work with the photographic medium alongside other formats and compositions. Collage allows her to represent, in her own words, the hybrid and fragmented dimension of her identity. Her work focuses on collective memory and the decolonization of narratives and history.
