In 2005, Cheng was awarded for her outstanding work by Dr Tan Tze Chor at NAFA’s 55th Annual Exhibition and Best Display for Diploma in Fine Art programme at NAFA’s Graduation Show in 2006.
In the exhibition catalogue, “Adventures of Little Things”, Director of ISEAA and Art Galleries Dr Bridget Tracy Tan describes Ecstasy as "... an installation [that] alludes to a visually dramatic landscape, an army of blocks and forms in differing sizes. They are encapsulated in their own composition but draw us infinitely toward them—in both colour, form and instance. They break us free from a logic of syntax which they seem to present in their arrangement. Cheng’s work is both a whispered inaudible utterance, a seduction perhaps, as well as a demanding visual field."
