In the gallery of 72-13, during SeptFest 2022: uproot | rootless, Nurul Huda and Nicole Phua’s presentation, entitled Sillage and curated by Bridget Tay, finds the artists delving into performative installations that expand into narratives connected to themselves and each other. Exploring presence and absence, Sillage investigates meanings, familiarity and patterns through activation and responses between the material, intangible and human.

In Nodes by Nurul Huda, the artist explores the collection and algorithm of data, activating contexts through a contradictory manual process that is reminiscent of bodily function and extrapolation of information.

Moving in tandem, Nicole Phua’s Nizalia expresses her journey of faith. Using repetitive and routinised moments and objects of symbolic meanings, she explores a state of mind in relation to the physical. Through her actions, she creates a meditative sense of tranquillity.
