Sophia on the concept of aesthetics

“Sometimes, people think aesthetics are superficial, but I think they can be deep. I love the atmosphere and the visuals. So, I do what I love. Some people connect with it, and others don’t. It reminds me of something Anjelica told me in my 20s: ‘Not everyone is going to like you.’ It saved me years of disappointment.”
