To Capture evokes dual meanings, both the act of capturing as a form of creation and the framing of the concept. All her works seize stories within their very fabric – they carry narratives, hold memories and reveal emotions embedded within them.

The starting point of Céline Vahsen's work is the heritage of the textile medium, which she transports into the realm of contemporary art. 

Her work has been shown in numerous group exhibitions including the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art in Kanazawa, Japan, Marres House for Contemporary Culture in Maastricht, Netherlands and New York Textile Month, in the United States. She has held solo exhibitions at E.A. Shared Space in Tbilisi, Georgia and at the Saarländische Galerie in Berlin, Germany. In Brussels, her work has been exhibited among others at Ccinq, Centrale for Contemporary Art, RecyclArt, Pilar, etc. Elsewhere in Belgium at IKOB Museum of Contemporary Art in Eupen, Le Delta in Namur, Barbé Gallery in Ghent and at Fred&Ferry Gallery in Antwerp.
