Nur Syazana

Syazana is a Singaporean multidisciplinary practitioner who is graduating with a Diploma in Fine Arts from LASALLE College of the Arts. Her practice is rooted in a passion for culture both as personal discovery and collective narrative.

Growing up in a rapidly modernising city, Syazana has witnessed firsthand how tradition and heritage can be relegated to the margins in a matter of years. This experience has become inspirational in her practice, pushing her to create work that reconnects her to her heritage and anchors her within her roots by fusing traditional sources of inspiration with contemporary form.

Syazana's recent work investigates the interfaces of identity, memory and materiality. She has also introduced organic material into her work, finding a raw, textural medium through which to express the subtleties of cultural decay and continuity.

Through her multimedia projects, Syazana aims to create spaces through which individual heritage may be imagined, tangible and remembered. For her, art is not simply expression but also preservation.
