In her recent essay "The Spoils of Post-Cataclysm", Esther Hipponax wrote:
"Lilia Orlova-Holmes does not seek to represent nature but to embody and become it. Against the tradition which places man against and above nature, an outsider peering in, Lilia emphasises our essential place in nature as a process of movement and change. To separate man from this world, we have elevated ourselves above plants, animals, and non-humans.
Lilia affirms our common nature: a brutal surge of life which is only growth, growth alone. Her craft is thus not representation but becoming: Lilia embodies the process of nature and grows in her craft as a plant does in itself."

Oil on canvas.
