SALVAGE
Conversations with artists who use repurposed materials in their art practice.
SALVAGE is a podcast that celebrates creativity and sustainability through conversations with artists who turn discarded materials into powerful works of art. Each episode dives into their stories, techniques, and the deeper messages behind their work, showing how art can transform waste into beauty and inspire action against overconsumption and wastefulness.
It’s a space for exploring how creativity and mindfulness can help us reimagine our relationship with the planet—one repurposed piece at a time.

SALVAGE
Conversation with Swapna Namboodiri
Swapna is a plastic sculptor. She’s extremely passionate about contributing greener days for the coming generations. She upcycles plastics to create sculptural artworks. Swapna collects discarded plastics, and individually hand-cuts or carves them to create structures, inspired by the forms and patterns from nature itself. She cherishes this connection and believes in that artistic exchange between the artist and nature around her.
