Cate Wind is a South African-born multidisciplinary artist based between Berlin and New York. Her practice explores themes surrounding the human condition. Through her investigations, she aims to question and highlight certain aspects of contemporary life—hoping to make us more aware of ourselves and the environments we inhabit. Wind’s work is primarily guided by the materials she chooses. Her artwork often plays with light and shadow, creating a sense of movement and fluidity. She is particularly interested in translating the intangible—such as emotion and energy—into physical form. Repetition is frequently employed as a means to mirror and reflect aspects of nature within her practice. Her artwork offers a visualisation of a captured moment or feeling, giving shape to the immaterial.

Wind is also deeply engaged with the development of our current cultural climate. The constant change, consumption, and chaos of contemporary society often result in a disconnection from ourselves and our immediate surroundings. Incorporating this idea into her practice, Wind explores and questions the natural and human connection in the modern world. 

 

Alongside her artistic practice, Wind embodies the intersection of artistry and entrepreneurship as the founder and CEO of WIN Creating Images, a packaging design and trend agency operating across four locations. The agency represents her vision of a diverse talent network where multiple disciplines join. 

 

Her immersion in the business world provides unique insights continuously enriching her work as an artist, designer, and photographer. Driven by a mission to bring beauty to peoples’ lives, WIN Creating Images stands as more than an agency - it's a daily rebellion against aesthetic decline. Through this blend of commercial expertise and artistic vision, Wind has created a platform where creativity and strategic thinking enhance each other, demonstrating the transformative power of visual communication in our modern world.
