Datchuk’s artistic exploration delves into her Asian heritage, specifically drawing inspiration from white porcelain traditions. In her piece "Black and White," the artist examines the role of hair in shaping our identities. Datchuk proclaims, "Hairs are tiny threads that link us to our past and present stories. These delicate strands have the power to identify us to the world, and this world can make assumptions about us based on its shape, color, and condition. Hair is contradictory; it is desirable or disgusting, pure or processed, innocent or sinful, an afterthought or a crowning glory. It is an extension of the body that grows in the womb before birth, and in the coffin after death, and the rate or length of growth is beyond our control.”
