You can acquire original Sophia drawings such as this on from my gallery.

I drew this to portray what Sophia’s worst nightmare is: disembodiment. I don’t mean physically, but emotionally and spiritually. She recognizes that she and her body has been objectified. She understands that the culture we live in would keep her divided against herself. She remembers that her religion has demonized her physicality, marginalized her mind, and diminished her spirit. She knows that she is weakened and ineffective when she is separated from herself and life.

She grew up to be disintegrated. But what she has found and enjoys is her integration. She’s worked hard for it. She’s discovered herself. She has found herself. She loves herself.

Finally, she is “together”. She plans on staying that way.
