Sapphire Stewart (b. 1998) is an interdisciplinary artist whose work moves between live performance, sculpture, and conceptual image-making. Working from her own experiences, she explores conditional love, fear, embodiment, and the complexities of human connection. Through photography, text, video, sound, installation, and performance, she uses an intuitive process to create work that confronts, resonates, and connects with her audience.

Her work has been exhibited across London and Bristol. She has been featured by the Financial Times and It’s Nice That, and shortlisted by The Royal Photographic Society and Portrait of Britain. In 2025, she was invited to an artist residency with Ensō House in Portugal with her collective Figure.8, and in 2026 she was awarded the Sicily Photo Masterclass Alumni Scholarship Bursary.
