Dong’s artistic practice is based in performance art,[1] photography, video, installation, virtuality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and 3D printing within the contemporary context of global feminism.
In Later 2019, Dong focuses on art and technology,[11] exploring new digital possibilities for bridging gaps between memories and experiences, whilst mediating culture and identity through the lens of gender and diaspora.
Covered by the duvet, Dong lies on the ground in front of historical sites, landmarks, tourist attractions, and other significant places or events around the world.
[21][22] "Skin Deep" is a series of photographs with a Augmented Reality component that explores surface of thing – face- in relation Asian shame culture through performing self-portraits.
[23] This work points to the deeply embedded feelings of shame that can cause women to hold back and stay silent, transforming the performative gestures into experiences that are understood to be universal and relatable.
[25] The inner worlds Dong created in VR shifts between concrete and ephemeral, abstract and realistic, 3D to 2D, organic and inorganic with speed, forming temporary structures that constantly expand and collapse in time and space.
In 2010, Dong posted classified advertisements describing herself as "an exotic, compliant and artistic Asian girl looking for a white husband who would like to take her to his home to live with him for a day as his mail order bride".
