ソフィー・ギュヨーは環境をテーマにした作品を多く手掛けており、それは一般的な人間性を表す比喩として扱われます。彼女は自然をもとにしてデザイン的に描かれる巨大な空間をよく想像しています。しかし、さまざまな工業的な材料や人工の照明を頻繁に使用することで、別の視点も取り入れます。彼女のプロジェクトは、しばしば非常に大きなものであるため、自然への異なる感覚を想起させます。作品には詩的で完璧な物体が多く含まれ、それは観客を魅了し、彼らを取りまく世界に対する意識を高めさせます。
Sophie Guyot often addresses environmental themes, treated as metaphors for the general state of humanity. She regularly envisions huge spatial ambients that design-wise draw from nature and its habitats, but her frequent use of different industrial materials and artificial lighting introduces different semantic coordinates. Her projects, often monumentally big, thus recall a different perception of nature. The latter one in her work often receives a poetic and flawless substance that charms the spectators and enhances their awareness of the world around them.
