What if your creative practice could gently piece you back together… even when life feels torn apart?
In this deeply moving conversation, I sit down with mixed media artist Silvina Lanusse, whose work explores the emotional connection between nature, connection, identity, and belonging.
Through her signature “paper scapes” — layered landscapes created from torn paper, paint, and found materials — Silvina shares how creativity became a powerful healing tool during one of the most challenging transitions of her life: navigating the distance from her daughter across continents.
This episode is a beautiful reminder that creativity isn’t just about what we make…
It’s about how we return to ourselves.
