Our Subtle Body, Sofia Alrich Veytia and Mia Thompson

June 2025

Thompson and Alrich Veytia explore a non-material self, vulnerability and joy through moments of connection to something larger than ourselves. Through the alchemical process of printmaking they invite collective reflection.

Thompson’s prints consider the body as a vessel—both physical and spiritual—through a queer and trans lens. Their prints explore themes of gender, the body, and identity, drawing on biblical imagery, interplay of scale and vulnerability. Engaging with the alchemical nature of printmaking, the process itself becomes a metaphor for transformation. The work reflects on the idea of the ‘subtle body’: a non-physical plane where identity, soul, and sensation converge. Embracing a collective, non-binary perspective, the series plays with language and plural pronouns (they/them) to evoke multiplicity, shared experience, and fluidity in transformation.
