Sona's thesis research investigates the distinction between loneliness and solitude through the framework of her body. Drawing from Buddhist concepts of detachment and impermanence, she undertook a ten-day meditation retreat to examine how bodily sensations shape emotional and psychological states. Experimentation through the materiality of silver, allowed the her to capture both skin textures and representations of sensations she felt on her body during the retreat. The resulting works materialize the shifting boundary between loneliness and solitude, transforming internal experiences into wearable forms.
