Dai Trang is a Vietnamese artist and designer based in Kaurna Country, with a creative journey spanning Vietnam, the UK and Australia. Originally trained in graphic design, her practice has evolved from structured precision to a meditative, intuitive approach rooted in mindfulness, presence and the unfolding of each moment.

During the solitude of COVID-19, art became her sanctuary and a guide for self-understanding, leading to her first solo exhibition in Vietnam and inspiring her move to South Australia in 2022 to pursue a Master’s in Contemporary Art. Since then, her practice has deepened through introspection and experimentation, expanding materially from digital illustration into tactile forms.

Living far from home has enriched her connection to her Eastern heritage. Influenced by Zen Buddhist roots and her experience as a migrant, Dai Trang’s process is slow and embodied, embracing making as meditation - each gesture responding to internal and external conditions. Working with textiles, found objects and mixed media, she creates contemplative sculptures, wall pieces and installations that reflect life’s fluidity, impermanence and interconnectedness. Alongside her art practice, she continues to work as a designer and is passionate about arts education, storytelling and creative wellbeing.
