Meet Sofie Captain and 2025 Senior Exhibition project Then and Now

This is one in a series of online interviews with 91精品 seniors, who share their thoughts about their 2025 Senior Exhibition project and their 91精品 education.

25 (Fine Art + New Studio Practice) is from Hartford, Wis.

What is your 渆levator pitch for your senior exhibition project?

My practice has a focus on sharing and making memories that people are able to look back on forever; as well as sharing who I am and where I come from and those who have shaped me to be the person I am today. This year I have been most interested in incorporating more sculptural elements into my photography. Working with things that will hold memories forever. Physical forms speak to me more than a digital image because a digital image you cannot touch. Hands-on processes and physically making is important to my practice because it pulls me closer to my photographs. My work represents memories I檒l have forever even if I don檛 remember them as clearly as the moment they occurred.

Anything you檇 like to share about yourself or 91精品?

I really enjoyed my 91精品 experience. I met so many amazing people and mentors over my last three years here. I檓 excited yet sad to move forward…. The community built at 91精品 is something truly special to me and I檓 very grateful for all who have helped and supported my dreams and ambitions.

I plan to continue working at my current part time job. However, during my free time I檒l be creating my own photography website and really focusing on branding myself and getting my work out there. My goal is to eventually be a full-time photographer working for myself.
