Lisa’s work always revolves around resilience and survival strategy. That was also the theme she started with for this nature work. “Before this, I made many portraits. In them, I depicted the complexity of human identity and the various ways individuals protect themselves and adapt to challenging environments. From starlets who use their sexual allure to thrive in a venomous environment to child soldiers who wield their weapons to survive.” With this new collection, her focus shifts from humans to nature: animals, plants, and flowers… which, like humans, constantly evolve in their survival strategies.

We then approach a piece called “Panther & Tiger descending,” climbing down a tree with vines, heading towards prey. Behind them, an orchid is visible. “It’s not clear who will win, who will get the prey. The conflict, the survival of the toughest, is imminent. The orchid as a backdrop is a very tough plant, a sign of resilience and adaptability. The work is a glimpse into the eternal struggle for survival and confronts the viewer with the thrilling question: who will triumph?”
