Daumante Stirbyte’s work aims to instill a sense of curiosity and wonder in the viewer, as well as explore the notion of the ‘unknown’ through unexpected combinations of shapes, colour, and surface treatments. It serves as a form of escapism—she’s not interested in replicating or portraying things that already exist. Familiar yet uncomfortable, the creatures she creates are like unusual specimen at a natural history museum.
