Conformity.sucks is the artistic name of Danica Dsouza, whose practice explores human existence in the wake of biological extinction. Having worked for over a decade in the fashion industry as a designer, pattern cutter and maker, Dsouza turned away from fashion to pursue fine art as a means of addressing grief and eco-anxiety. Dsouza’s practice evolves across diverse media, including textile, wood, glass, bio-material experimentation, drawing and traditional printmaking, producing objects that grasp at beauty in the face of death and loss. These works invite observers to look beyond screens and confront the disappearance of natural wonders. Artworks function as memento mori, reflecting on mortality and questioning the desire to play God, while expressing grief rooted in biodiversity loss, existential awakening, cultural identity, solastalgia and shifting notions of self.
Artwork Introduction
Alternate Articulation 3D Screenprint is an experiment employing two-dimensional fabrication to explore the visual perception of the three- dimensional phenomenon. In the age of VR and AI, this piece pushes for creating visual illusions that tangible materials can create, seen with the naked eye, thus challenging the viewer’s perception of reality.
