Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.
This contemporary artwork features a minimalist composition with a prominent gold circle against a dark background. The overall design is geometric and symmetrical, with the gold circle occupying the central focus.

Bill Daggs’s practice unfolds across painting, sculpture, installation, sound, moving image, performance, and text—rooted in an immersive exploration of rhythm, memory, and social experience.
