SYDNEY SOBEL
sydneycsobel@gmail.com
I am a multidisciplinary artist based in London who uses art as a way to explore dogma and the Earth. When I was young, I was fascinated by the idea of people being devoted to different ways of life. Now, I research ancient religions, the occult, homeopathic remedies, and foodways within different indigenous communities.
Growing up near the ocean and finding comfort when I’m near bodies of water has created a feeling of home in the organic. This, along with my ethnicity of being half Lebanese and half Ashkenazi Jew, has led to me exploring how to decolonise community and personal wellbeing.
