Annabell Ng’s artistic journey began with an exploration of new mediums and sculptural forms. Her ​recent works comprise of flora and fauna around her, grounding her practice in the natural world. By ​collecting and preserving elements such as leaves, flowers, tree barks, twigs and insects, she allows ​them to become metaphors for the reality of impermanence. These natural materials, subject to decay ​and transformation, reflect the passage of time, with fragility and change becoming an integral part of ​the artistic process.


She wanders from a young age about nature, arts and musicality. These experiences resonate with the ​Goethean philosophy, where wandering fosters a deep reverence for the world. Knowledge of ​herbalism rooted in her family venture instilled in her a view of nature as both a reflection of reality ​and a keeper of time.


Growing and fading are not just irreversible of time but reflections of existence. This idea is inspired ​by her traveling experiences across diverse landscapes and cultures that further deepen her insight in ​the dialogue of familiar and the unfamiliar in her memories.


Rhythms of breathing, balance and neutrality are presented with cyclical and duality forms. When ​she immerses herself in the art studio, she seeks balance and unity, creating space for viewers to ​engage with her quiet interconnections between nature, time, and life.





“In the forms of each artwork, I wander within. I am also in between the worlds.”

—Annabell Ng
