Lila has painted siha’u’e - a diamond design symbolising the fruit of the siha’e tree. This is a traditional Dahorurajé clan design which Lila learnt from her auntie Joyce-Bella Mujorumo, the former duvahe (Chief) of Dahorurajé clan women from the old village of Sidonejo near Mount Obo. The border at the edges of the painting as well as the lines that run through the work are known as orriseegé or ’pathways’ and provide a compositional framework for the design.
