Ants crawling around, flesh-like utensils, animalistic feeding frenzies all swirl in the surrealist world Lilly creates in her ink and acrylic works. It is one that on the surface might seem nightmarish but upon closer inspection reveals scenes that negotiate the very tender feelings of love, loss, and temptation. The central figure in her works seems to take up space unknowingly; the small gestures at odds with the figure’s awkward proportions. The rendering of body in Lily’s practice asks for its own consideration, offering alternative references of female bodies into the lexicon of Asian-diasporic art.
