Visualization of puns and sayings is sometimes the basis on which Daukantė builds her art. She has said, “Being visually minded, I have a soft spot for wordplay. Words tend to suggest a narrative that I happily build on throughout my process.” Daukantė also exploits pop culture references, which she uses to underline the absurdity of modern world.
Daukantė has a passion for quirky objects. She displays an intriguing series of lamps with a hint of design art. The night lights are intended for a scared cheerleader or a scared cardiologist – everyone is afraid of the dark. Humor can be found in exactness of details. Daukantė uses a lot of visual contrasts in her work. In the exhibition you will see silk-lined bags, embroidered with logos of large retail chains.
Having collected her best work from the pandemic period Daukantė is inviting the community for payback.
