Yakecen

 Alexander’s work label, Yakecen, is a Native American name, which translates to “A Song from the Sky”.  The label is represented by Alexander’s  original abstract painting entitled Huginn. 

The painting is inspired by Norse god Odin’s raven of the same name. With the raven’s longtime association with death and loss, Huginn represents both the ability to bear stigmas as a strength and to excel with them, represented by the raven’s flight.
