Daina works in drawing and painting, focusing on subjects that pique her curiosity. Her primary interest lies in social dynamics, observed from a spectator's perspective rather than as a participant.
She examines how basic social patterns remain consistent across groups of varying sizes. Her work explores the natural formation and evolution of social structures, including the cultivation of followers, exploitation, idolization, opposition, betrayal, and continuous reshaping that characterizes human interaction.
Daina's drawings and paintings document these phenomena as they occur in different contexts, from small groups to larger communities. Her approach is observational, capturing the mechanisms by which social hierarchies emerge and transform over time.
