Sonja Cabalt

In my work, I explore the beauty and fragility of nature, with special attention to what normally remains invisible: such as microorganisms, underwater landscapes, and unknown life forms. These hidden worlds inspire me to create organic structures that appear to breathe, grow, or slowly emerge.
​
I translate this fascination into sculptures and installations that invite the viewer to pause and reflect on the unknown and often unnoticed. My aim is to evoke a sense of wonder and curiosity about the complexity and richness of life beyond our everyday perception.​
​
My work is represented in private collections across the United States, Poland, Ireland, Australia, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
​
Alongside my studio practice, I also create commissioned works.
