Laila was awarded with the Art Directors Club Young Guns award in 2016. For the award ceremony she was invited to create an installation. She chose to do a riff on the great school project of using a potato as an electric circuit. The installation was comprised of 50 lb of potatoes that were used to power 3 light fixtures that Laila designed. The same amount of potatoes was fried into potato chips. The room was lit with the lights while guests ate the chips.
