Sooji Kang is a Japanese-American artist based in Santa Barbara, California, specializing in one-of-a-kind fabric sculptures. With a lifelong passion for art and storytelling, she transforms soft textiles into intricate, expressive figures that explore emotion, personality, and narrative.

Each sculpture is meticulously handcrafted, blending delicate craftsmanship with imaginative design. Her creations are not merely objects but companions — each with its own story, character, and presence, inviting viewers to connect on a personal and emotional level.

Sooji draws inspiration from nature, human relationships, and the quiet poetry of everyday life. Her work emphasizes the tactile, intimate qualities of fabric, transforming familiar materials into extraordinary forms. Through her sculptures, she seeks to evoke wonder, curiosity, and a sense of gentle reflection in every viewer.

Sooji’s pieces have been featured in gallery exhibitions where their unique textures, forms, and stories create immersive, contemplative experiences.
