Books, films, illustrations, music and everyday life are some of the things that inspire Saraphina in her creative process. She works mostly with illustrations, photographs and texts, at times incorporating other forms of mixed media. Writing is also one of her loves, where her stories often revolve around themes such as fading memories, dreams, nightmares, childhood and death. To her, the stories essentially make up the main melody, while the rest of the media acts as the accompanying rhythm and beat.
