With an unperturbed, determined outlook, Helix attempts to distil a more resilient life force and a closer sense of being through experiences of the past (Helix, in progress).
Notes
The helical spiral, or the helix, can be seen as a symbol of resilience. Naturally occurring, helical models underlie galaxies and weather forecasts, and the helix is also reflected in the DNA structure of every living organism. Even our fingerprints, concentrically circular, are reminiscent of the helix. Derived from the Fibonacci sequence, the helical structure is stable with an intriguing use of space, hence frequently utilised in various architectural designs around the world. By its very nature, the helix brings about a sense of tenacity. Like a plant whose roots twist and spiral to forge an alternative path when encountering an obstacle in its growth, the defiant helix reminds us that life, with its infinite possibilities and potential, is wondrous indeed.
premiere date 16–18 Sep 2021 | Goodman Arts Centre Black Box | Nah Jieying, Klievert Jon Mendoza, Goh Jia Yin & Maybelle Lek
