	==== Notable themes ====		==== Notable themes ====
	Recurring theme in Dana Catona's works is fragility, life and death, childhood memory and childhood feelings. Dana Catona predilection for a certain theme is concentrated towards symbolic forms associated with ~~archeology~~, recurring image of the house, letters or the written word seen as a literary but also visual element. In the ceramic works, the preoccupation with small structures and objects is the result of attention to fragility seen as an attribute of vulnerability and to the delicacy of miniature dimensions. There is a preference for minimalism and the specific expressiveness of the small gestures from which the works were derived, but also for a personal space, which she associates with dimensions that can be fully manipulated just by moving the palms. References to the natural world are simultaneously present and absent. While the forms may evoke organic structures or fragments of growth, their representational dimension is intentionally open and largely completed through the viewer’s perception.
