Our experiences become us.
We become reflected within ourselves.
Slowly bringing us home.

Lokho Kotile is an Oromo visual artist based in Minnesota. Her work involves the essence of storytelling. She believes in the power of creating vulnerability through her art— “Creating is the act of love.” In her work, Lokho is able to express herself while bringing to light her vision of how she sees the world, through images, writing, video, and installation.

Lokho is especially interested in the theme of home and belonging. With each project, she tries to create feelings of reflection. She wants her work to invoke questions within ourselves to ponder on, creating an intuitive state of mind.
