The Core of Identity with Nika Fontaine

In this episode I have an inspiring and fascinating conversation with visual artist Nika Fontaine. We dive deep into her personal history and her exploration of identity and spirituality. We talk about alchemy, transformation, and the ways in which art can become a vehicle for self discovery and ego dissolution. ------------------------------------Nika Fontaine, born in Montreal 1985, lives and work in Berlin and Villalonga, Spain.
