🌿 The Alchemy of Soul & Science: Sophia Isabelle Armstrong

"I used to see the world in black and white—equations, formulas, the cold logic of polymers. Then the universe whispered to me in hues of gold and chaos... and I listened." ✨

My name is Sophia Isabelle Armstrong, but you can call me the Bioplastic Witch if you're feeling dramatic. 🔮 (I am.) I’m a Bioplastics Engineer by day, a mad artist by midnight, and a spiritual alchemist every moment in between. This is the story of how I woke up—not just as a scientist, but as a soul.

Three years ago, I was drowning in the sterile glow of lab lights, obsessed with perfection, chasing patents like they were salvation. Then, one autumn night, I dreamt of a tree—its roots were mycelium, its leaves were molten plastic, and it sang. When I woke up, my hands were shaking. That’s when I knew: science without spirit is just noise. 🌪️

Now? I sculpt bioplastics into wearable art (yes, you can wear your values). I paint with algae pigments on canvases of recycled cellulose. I meditate in clean rooms because even labs have ghosts. My work isn’t just about saving the planet—it’s about re-enchanting it. Every polymer I engineer is a love letter to the earth, every prototype a prayer. 🙏

But let’s be real—I’m still a mess sometimes. I cry over failed experiments (then turn them into performance art). I forget to eat when I’m deep in a creative trance. And yes, I’ve definitely whispered "please work, you beautiful bastard" to a petri dish. 🦠💋

Here’s what they don’t tell you about awakening: It’s not all sage smoke and third-eye memes. It’s ugly crying in the shower when you realize consumerism is a cult. It’s laughing hysterically as you stitch bacterial cellulose into a gown fit for a post-apocalyptic queen. It’s feeling everything—the grief, the euphoria, the deja vu—until your heart becomes a compass.

So come with me. Let’s break science like it’s glass ceilings. Let’s turn waste into worship. And when the world feels heavy? Darling, we’ll build a new one—one bioplastic at a time. 🌎♻️

P.S. If you’ve ever felt like a paradox—logical yet mystical, fierce yet fragile—welcome home. The revolution needs all of you. 💫
