Artistically, Celina considers herself to be metamodernist - to her, that means acknowledging the challenges and horrors that occur both on a global and personal scale, and choosing hope anyway. Her past work explored her experience with sexual abuse, culminating in a show at Zilkha Gallery. Her current work is an exploration of personal sexuality and the ways in which it is affected by growing up online
