His 2022 exhibition, Actual Occasions showcased a new body of work by Didin Jirot that is informed by the landscape of Indonesia and his roots as a Balinese. Didin’s body of work employs the use of automotive paint, resin, and stainless steel, creating manually using his hands, folding, rolling, and bending stainless plates to present three-dimensional elements. The Actual Occasions exhibition resonates with the concept and forms of the canang sari, a type of floral offering made by the Balinese Hindus in their prayers. The offering or canang is a representation of the mantra that is created to symbolize expressions of prayer.
