In her multi-part work complexes, the artist works with a variety of media, including painting, collage, video and drawing, as well as documents from public and personal archives. Based on extensive historical research, Daha, in her artistic work, connects biographical and historical aspects, collective memories, and historical, political events in new constellations. This involves extensive travelling and study visits to, among others, Vancouver, New York, London or Berlin.
