Sofiia's work, which seems to be a cartographic model of the terrain, refers to the largest environmental disaster in Europe after Chernobyl, which occurred in 2000 near the Romanian city of Baia Mare. At that time, the water of the Danube were poisoned by large amount of cyanide, the source of which caused improper storage of gold mining waste. This catastrophe destroyed almost all living things and for a long time made the water of rivers unfit for life. The colour of water became red-rusty because of high heavy metals concentration. At work, Sophia's rivers turn into medical tubes of the same color, as if filled with blood. The artist emphasizes almost bodily suffering of nature, the polish of all living things, the demolition of the continuous flow of production.
