Fiker's current and ongoing body of work, is a meditation on nature, place, and transformation. Moving away from her close-knit family home in her hometown, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to her current chosen home in Kampala, Uganda and living alone for the first time, Fiker encountered an unexpected kind of freedom. She discovered the time and space to experiment, to turn inward, and to move at her own rhythm. What emerged was a new sense of happiness and joy, born from slowing down, retreating into herself, and learning to create her life on her own terms.

She traces her passage not through borders or routes but through shifts in colour, texture, material, and, above all, through personal evolution. In this process, nature becomes both muse and metaphor: a living archive of cycles, care, and renewal, as well as a language through which she processes her experiences. Making - the cutting, punching, stitching, crocheting and weaving together of her tapestries and installations - becomes a way of remembering and re-imagining this journey.
