Lila’s work seeks to remind audiences that the harshness of life does not exclude its intense beauty. Core focuses of her work are the female presence in history, the crucial interrelationship between humans and the natural world, and the universal truths nestled in our mythologies. Lila is always invested in the power of fantasy to take us out of a world we’re familiar with so that we can look at our societies anew. She works to evoke in her audiences a renewed sense of awe of the world we’re in and those in it with us.
