Regina Dao is a multidisciplinary artist whose evolving practice centers on human connection, collaboration, and play. Working primarily in sculpture and ceramics, she interweaves critical historical research with personal narrative to explore themes of queerness, identity, and ancestral memory. Her work serves as a form of cultural retelling, uncovering lost or silenced stories through tactile and intimate forms. Her current project investigates the abandonment and discrimination faced by Amerasian children during and after the Vietnam War. It confronts the emotional and psychological complexities of assimilation, examining how trauma, home, abuse, and unconditional love shape familial and cultural identities.
