Vartika's choice of career was housed in her own struggles with mental health when she was young. Without knowing it then, she underwent childhood depression and was launched into an identity crisis much earlier than her adolescence. Psychology helped her navigate the difficult aspects of her life and helped her bring cohesion into her own being. The Flow is her attempt to be with people, who like her at one point, feel lost, confused and directionless.
