Cvitanovic works through a slow, attentive engagement with materiality, memory, and the layered histories held within everyday objects. Recently, her practice has turned toward quotidian textiles as a site for an aesthetics of care, exploring how making can contribute to more sustainable futures.

Her practice‑based PhD investigated the ways contemporary textile work can critically address forms of invisible, gendered labour. Drawing on the histories of undervalued reproductive work and the garment‑industry labour undertaken by women in her family, she employed labour‑intensive, repetitive hand‑stitching to foreground the often‑overlooked work embedded in domestic textiles.

Through a commitment to slow circular processes she resists neoliberal and patriarchal expectations of productivity and consumption, instead asserting making as a space for reflection, repair, and relational care.
