Mahon, Alyce. “The Object-Poems of Lilia Ziamou.” International Journal of Surrealism. Fall 2025.
“With her sculpture The Bone as (Bandage) Dress #1 (2023), the first in a series of three sculptural works, Ziamou draws out a tension between desire and destruction as she works with hard and soft materials, invoking the texture of bone and dress, muscle and flesh.”

Writing
Ziamou, Lilia. “Reflections on The Bone as (Bandage) Dress.” International Journal of Surrealism. Fall 2025.
“Through successive digital and physical layering and transformations, I dissect and reconstruct anatomical structures -particularly bones- as a way of questioning how technological interventions blur the line between the natural and the engineered.”
— Lilia Ziamou
Publication
Themistokleous, George. “The Interval Between Drawing and Territorial Inscription.” Drawing: Research, Theory, Practice. Fall 2025.
“Lilia Ziamou advances the notion of ‘Daedalian’ drawing -where replication is not employed for accuracy or control but instead opens new bodily and spatial imaginaries. The featured drawing displaces the body into indeterminate states… This kind of body recalls Deleuze and Guattari’s ‘Body-without-Organs’, insofar as it resists structural organization and instead assembles affective intensities across its surface".

Digital Twins: Bones as Flesh #1, 2025 featured in Drawing: Research, Theory, Practice. Fall 2025.
Writing
Ziamou, Lilia. “Digital Twins: Bones as Flesh: Redrawing Territories Through Indeterminate Bodies.” Drawing: Research, Theory, Practice. Fall 2025.
“Digital Twins: Bones as Flesh” transforms the femur, a symbol of strength and support, into a pliable, reconfigurable form. Through digital manipulation, the traditionally rigid structure becomes fluid, challenging fixed notions of the body and reshaping our understanding of bodily territory through technological interventions".
— Lilia Ziamou
