These selected artworks reflect moments in Alexandra Mitiku's evolving artworks. She is studying the intersection between migrant experience and consumer capitalism.

Integral to her research is her yearly travels to Korea and Ethiopia, where she collects part of the land for her artworks; and pieces of time for an internal transformation. This method is a way for her to explore generational repair, confronting themes of separation and nresolved grief.

Unique to her paintings are the materialities:

the earthy pigments are rooted in the clays she collects from her travels; in a way building worlds through these borderless soils.

the blue hues are a recent development as she is beginning to also collect indigo paste.

These are tied with ink and charcoal - both made of burnt woods.
