Alembik’s own artwork centers on corporeality and its relationship with cultural and political ideas of nature and home. She considers the suffering of those torn and traumatized through forced diaspora and the atrocities of current events and history—especially those perpetrated against people who identify as women. In 2025 she presented paintings in the exhibit From Ruin at Perimeter College of Georgia State University gallery. Alembik’s drawings, paintings, and installations have been exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia, the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center, City College Art Gallery in San Francisco, CA, and the Hyde Gallery at Memphis College of Art, TN among other venues.
