At the core of Goh’s practice is the romanticization of the everyday, finding poetry in the mundane and reimagining subtle interactions with her environment as visual and sensory narratives. Inspired by the aesthetics of games, anime, and manga, she explores how these mediums heighten emotion—turning ordinary moments into something cinematic, dreamlike, or romantic. Her work reflects the longing for things that never truly existed.

Selected Exhibitions
'Can I Feel It?' is an exhibition that explores the tactile allure of textile works.
Can I Feel It? is not only an invitation to view but to truly experience textile art. It prompts you to reconsider the role of touch in the appreciation of art and design and explore the connections you have between material, technique, and emotion. Art is not only to be seen but to also be felt on an emotional and physical level. In a world where touch is often restrained and mediated, this exhibition serves as a reminder of the power and importance of tactile engagement. The exhibition challenges you to question your perceptions of materiality and discover the profound beauty that lies beneath a simple act of touch.
