Nicole Poh's work captures the displacement of existing communities through paintings that explore personal reminiscence, community identity, and the transience of the urban landscape. By blurring the lines between the present and the past, she creates a visual leap into history—a rip in the fabric of space and time.

Focusing on the ruins that endure amidst rapid urbanisation, often characterised by mixed cultural architecture, the artist investigates the implications of their construction materials. Her work questions the societal impact of these materials, the consequences of their disuse, and methods for their preservation. 

Seeking to retain the artistic impact of this unique history, the artist explores architecture and space, sometimes through an absurdist lens. Her paintings evoke visceral emotions and offer a distinct perspective on the urban landscape, reflecting her personal experiences of displacement and cultural heritage. This establishes a profound and resonant connection with viewers.
