ā†’ about caterina

The Plastic Poetry Series

"Plastic Poetry comes from the idea of condensing, in a few lines, very intense emotions, like a poem."

"Plastic Poetry," launched in 2022, is Caterina's debut series and has since evolved into her own artistic hallmark.

These beautiful and meaningful works convey a sense of peace and harmony, revealing the infinite beauty present in all things, even in the most undesirable."

Expeditions

Caterina has spent the past two years traveling to beaches across the Mediterranean, Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans, collecting over 200kg of marine plastics.

During this time, she has observed patterns and commonalities in all these locations, which she then incorporates into her artistic narratives to create a powerful impact on viewers.
