These components have built a solid foundation for their work. Twofolds seeks to discover the parallels and intersections of relationships through contemporary dance, bringing them to life with the cultural influences that have shaped and surrounded them. Twofolds has been able to work harmoniously throughout the years because of a partnership that complements their differences through their mutual goal for creating.

They value curiosity and continuously learning new skills and knowledge. In their works, Sofía questions and explores social constructs, and how they play on individual or interpersonal relationships.
