The Risr Series — 005
Sofia Lin
She paints the city that never quite felt like home.
Runtime 3:11
A painter on immigration, silence, and learning to see a place slowly.
Sofia Lin arrived in Austin as a teenager who spoke very little English and drew constantly. This film traces how a quiet habit became a practice — and how a city that felt foreign became the subject of her life's work.
