Reciprocate started in 2019 as a way to express my living philosophy and what I believe art and community should do: mirror, mend, and move us. The word is a play on my name, Catalina Cipri.
I use upcycling as my main artistic and healing practice — to restore discarded materials, parts of our identity, and ancestral stories. I’m interested in the energy and possibility they all carry, and uplifting them through handcraft.
My background is in social impact design, birthwork and art therapy, and my work is about holding space.
Holding space to center:
- Where/how can we increase love? Through embodied reflection
- What futures can we redesign together? Through creativity in community
- What artifacts of love can be created? Through crafting resilience, love, hope through mending
Everything made or offered is healing art: created to feel more love, more ourselves, and more connected.
All of my offerings are available both online and in-person in Bruxelles (or beyond).
