Sophy Chang, Visual artist

Alexa Caroline Modugno June 14, 2024

Why do you like art?

I was always interested in looking at visuals.

You grew up in Korea. How would you say the culture is different from Korea to New York?

Super different. New York is more expressive, and Korea is more reserved.

How do you integrate your Korean heritage into your art?

Right now, it’s like mixed a lot because I don’t feel like I’m fully Korean.

How would you classify your art?

Freedom and respect.

What’s one thing you look for in a friend?

Loyalty and honesty.
