Layla Dahlia received the Gallery Benefactors Merit Prize at the Perpetual Guardian Small Sculpture Prize 2026.

Layla Dahlia vessel was one of ten finalists in FUSE Glass Prize 2024, Australia. It reflects a technical and conceptual jump in my cast glasswork. Over-scaled flowers and allusive body parts float inside this bowl. Akin to the disjointed experience of 2020 - lockdowns enforced alternate thinking leading to innovation.
