During a nine-month battle with depression, Sergei Van Hardeveld leaned on pottery and singing to get through. "The healing part was being able to focus and not think about the past or the future and just to be in the present," Sergei said. Since then, he's picked up painting and photography and found purpose through environmental and social causes. We met Sergei at Leeside Skate Park in Vancouver to talk about thriving through creative expression and his new focus on love.
