Sophia Moreno is a designer and artist based in Detroit. Her work delves into themes of hyper-fem- ininity, excess, and adornment, with a particular interest in exploring low-brow aesthetics. Drawing inspiration from advertising/media portrayals of women and girls, Sophia’s art meditates on how these representations influence female relation- ships and self-perception. During her first year in the MFA program at Cranbrook Academy of Art, she immersed herself in airbrush painting, captivat- ed by its rich history of customization and versatili- ty. She integrates airbrush techniques into apparel, domestic objects, and mass-produced consumer goods, imbuing them with a distinct low-brow sen- sibility. For Sophia, airbrushing serves not only as a creative outlet, but also a commentary on the hu- man tendency to virtue signal through material pos- sessions and adornment.
