A contemporary artist living in Seattle, using canvas paintings, installation art, and photographs to express the feel of styles of parallel groups or spaces, such as spatial folding and space.
A contemporary artist living in Seattle expresses the style of parallel groups or spaces through canvas paintings, installation art, and photography, involving ideas like parallel, folded, and extended spaces, as well as a deeply open sense of 'similarity, exclusivity, and placelessness.'
The false certainty of human-contrived contours: within a bookstore where one seemingly selects books freely, the individual—disciplined into an “absent observer” by a pre-engineered spatial order—is forced into a state of landlessness. After all, the true commodities are pre-packaged “orders” awaiting mass consumption. …

Juxtaposing them with ‘industrial standard products (stainless steel bowls)’ creates a sharp contemporary critique—industrial products have become the ‘man-made rockeries’ in the spiritual habitat of modern people. …
Four stainless steel salad bowls of fractal-scaling sizes originate from an international supermarket chain—mass-produced industrial commodities shaped by standardized molds. Within today’s highly regulated commercial landscapes, they are purchased en masse, populating thousands of domestic kitchens.
Rejecting a rigid, size-based sequence, the artist reconfigures them with dynamic lightness according to fractal logic—symbolizing the modern individual embedded within the contours of public order. …
Spanning a decade (2012–2021), this body of work condenses Damao’s profound insight into the human condition. Interweaving performance, installation, and painting, the artist constructs a spatial topology of “Landlessness,” investigating how modern individuals confront abandonment, alienation, and the fixity of the gaze within the folding and interaction of space. …
