Some conversations begin softly, like wind moving through trees. This one unfolds into a dance between humans and the wild world.
We ask the question: Do humans create art, or does art already exist in nature, waiting for us to join in?
From spiderwebs spun under the stars to the golden ratio etched in our bones, we explore how creativity is not something outside us but something ancient, pulsing through everything alive. We talk about Fibonacci spirals, birdsongs, mycelium networks, Luigi Russolo’s Art of Noise, and those unexpected moments when nature outshines any gallery.
We talk about grief too. How rituals, memory, and beauty intertwine. How mushrooms grow from decay. How art sometimes hurts, but in that hurt lives something sacred.
“Art is contemplation. It is the pleasure of the mind, which searches into nature and which there divines the spirit of which nature herself is animated.” — Auguste Rodin
