Dai’s artworks are drawn from everyday life and the art and culture of the world at large. Her work focuses on people’s emotional states, how these manifest externally, and the mystery of how they arrived at this point. It is this same quality of intrigue that she seeks to engender in the experience of her own artwork, for the viewers of her work to relate to and reflect upon their own experiences. The characters often seem quirky, humorous, childish but thought-provoking.
The characters and names in the exhibition are all fictitious, any similarity is purely coincidental.
