Human-crafted. AI-refined.
The artwork features a vibrant green tiger figurine atop a wooden frame with a striking abstract design. The composition consists of two large golden circular shapes against a dark background, creating a bold and minimalist aesthetic.

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.
