In 2020 started her artistic career after moving to Almaty. She is a student of Bakhyt Bubikanova. Her practice includes textile and sound art. As generations of her maternal family line were traditional craftswomen in felting, weaving, and sewing Kokonja found the meaning to continue the mastery of learning the almost lost knowledge, as well as remember those women through the practice, as the first step she sewing such artworks. She also appeals to her memories fixed in a sensual and tactile way according to her earlier childhood and younger years while living in a village.
