The recycling aspect in this work happens through many dimensions: content, form and process. Following her performances, the works become sculptures with a history of their own and result in an amalgamation of history and memory. Regenerating these narratives articulates for the artist both a sense of urgency and a mode of resistance.

Catalina’s work translate into key messages and universal concerns such as: sustainability, identity, gender equality and globalization underlining the connections of the Global South throughout history.
