Wade and Leta are a collaborative duo whose practice spans sculpture, painting, installation, and spatial design. Trained as graphic designers and photographers, they have evolved their work into large-scale public artworks and immersive environments shown in New York, London, Tokyo, and Beijing.
Whether through sculptural reliefs or kinetic environments, their work is defined by graphic clarity and a sense of radical optimism. Their shared life fuels an interconnected practice where color, form, and experience move freely between daily living and creative output. Together, they continue to explore how color, form, and space can merge and bring Music To Your Eyes.
Leta Sobierajski (b. 1988) is a New Yorker of Polish descent. As a child growing up in the rural countryside, Leta spent her time indoors surfing the internet with a 12KB/s dial up where downloading a song was an all day activity. Her unwavering focus is a result of this patience, and her dedication to the work at hand is extremely obsessive in nature. Always wanting to learn more, she is actively learning Japanese to enhance and embrace the hardship of doing something new to grow.

Wade Jeffree (b. 1987) is an Australian artist who left to have a go at making something of it in New York City. When he arrived, he met Leta and never looked back. His approach is always open and honest and driven by efficiency to understand how to solve something through listening, but also being unafraid to make mistakes in exploring ideas. He is obsessed with Sumo, Aliens/NHI, and is a purveyor of rare art books in languages he cannot understand.
