SETAREH is proud to present the German debut of London based artist Alya Hatta’s Some Seeds Are Still Bitter. In her paintings, playfully uncanny scenes weave together islands of anecdotes and memories. Both a means for locating herself in the present and a path for returning home, Hatta’s art moves through various temporalities. These diaristic images serve as a reflection of the self in times of loss and change, growth and dispersal.

In this recent body of work, Hatta surveys lived experience of diaspora, with her Southeast Asian heritage conflated with Eastern and Western influences. Concerned with ecology, both environmental and communal, Hatta engages modes of journeying, discovering and crafting to imagine a materialized paradise which she can call her own.
