a component of Mikell’s most recent international solo exhibition, Vuelve, Oración en el Cielo which opened in 2025 at Casa Lü—El Sur in México City, presenting Mikell’s research which compared how migratory birds and disabled bodies navigate climate instability.

consistent with Mikell’s practice, this piece is composed entirely of repurposed materials diverted from cycles of disuse, in an effort to mitigate industry waste. As a result, imperfections to the surfaces of frames and canvases are to be expected. Please contact the artist with further inquiries about production.
