Playfully intersecting the realms of fact and fiction, Daving's work draws from collective myth, sea folklore and current phenomena to tell the tale of contemporary consumerism. Peculiarities such as plastic islands coalescing in our oceans provide uncommon opportunities to observe the ramifications of a material driven world. These drifting artificial masses, such as the Pacific Garbage Patch, are physically isolated from civilization yet symbolically close to society. Daving uses the parallel reality of the ocean amalgamating into a uniform composition as a metaphor to highlight the emergence of a collective banal human identity. Through a satirical narrative her work challenges the commodity’s social, political and ecological effects.

The narratives within Daving's work are strongly influenced by sea folklore and man’s superstitious relationship with the sea. Superstition is commonly known as the science of pre-scientific people; however these allegorical tales hold present-day value. The artist uses the rich history of sea-faring warning signs found in traditional oral storytelling alongside present empirical information to create a new mythology of the sea. This new legend speaks of man’s past, juxtaposed with our present, and foreshadows the future. The artist's assemblages can be seen as malformed plastic flora or mythical fauna, holding supernatural vigor and forecasting metaphorical danger.
