Abstract
This article explores creative approaches within social work research, focusing on youth in care. This perspective-driven piece merges literature review and my viewpoints on creative methods, while also critiquing my fieldwork to highlight my application of these approaches. This article also adopts the wormhole throat metaphor to illustrate creativity as a shortcut in social work research, tying together universes—early observations and fuller understandings of youth in care. Concluding, this article advocates for the practical use of creativity in research and argues how researchers’ poststructuralist perspectives, in conjunction with creative approaches, can strengthen consciousness regarding the fragmented and often contradictory experiences of youth in care, leading to the emergence of more empowering narratives.
