Plakhova got a Master’s in social psychology before finding her calling in visual language — a living testament to the creative potency of cross-disciplinary eloquence. (Einstein, for instance, famously attributed his greatest breakthroughs in physics to his violin breaks — he believed they helped parts of his brain connect in new ways.)
