Artist Statement
Ng's practice is grounded in universal human experiences, responding to the rhythm of life through the intangible qualities of time-based art. Using her body as a vessel, she captures and recalls the fleeting energy of memory, exploring sensorial interactions between the body and its surroundings. Her work spans across performance art, videography, dance, and installations, creating immersive experiences that engage the viewer. At present, her practice has taken on a more contemplative approach, exploring the theme of alienation and memory. She also draws inspiration from core Buddhist teachings and philosophies, particularly in how these principles can offer clarity and ease when navigating the complexities of the human condition.
