Love, Reclaimed
This is a space to explore wellbeing and love beyond romance—real, deep, and expansive.
Art to Connect is created by two friends Vlad Zely (he/him) and Madina Flow (he/she/they), who were tired of chasing wholeness in romance and finally discovered true satisfaction, rebuilt self-worth and reclaimed joy in connection beyond romance.
For those who crave connection that lasts
Love isn’t just romance—it’s the friendships that hold us, the communities that see us, the moments of belonging we create every day. This space exists to challenge the narrow definitions we’ve been given and reclaim love in all its forms.
Through storytelling, reflection and thoughtful discourse, we unpack the ways love has been shaped, stolen, and commodified—and how we can take it back. Inspired by unconventional thinkers of all times and shaped by lived experiences, our work is for anyone who wants to build meaningful, intentional relationships beyond the romantic ideal.
What we explore here:
– Love as a practice, not just a feeling
– The power of friendships and chosen family
– Healing through community and connection
– Unlearning transactional love and reclaiming care
– How culture and systems shape our relationships
– Practical ways to nurture deep, lasting bonds
Love and joy are ours to redefine and reclaim, together.
Welcome to a space where love is bigger than what we’ve been told.
