Curious and shaken by the power structures and violence shaping our world, Cali feels compelled to trace human history—from the Italian Quattrocento to Woodstock, from the Factory to the barricades of cultural revolutions—driven by a deep desire to share this heritage.
Through unconventional techniques, using newspapers, BIC pens, and found objects like toys or lead soldiers, she exposes the narcissism and manipulation of contemporary society. Faces, fragments, and frozen moments are reappropriated to challenge our opinions and stir our conscience, while childhood symbols reawaken a time of uncorrupted innocence.
The butterfly, her emblem of metamorphosis, flutters across her canvases as a reminder of our visceral need for freedom and transformation. Dreaming of a world where future generations escape the trap of consumerism and social media, Cali confronts us with a question: isn’t it time to reclaim our destiny, our freedom—and rediscover our sovereign selves?
