In 2026, Hayley participated in the SIGAL Summer Program, where she was mentored by internationally renowned artist Pip & Pop. As part of the program, participants collaborated to design and create a small-scale sugar world installation inspired by Pip & Pop’s immersive, candy-coloured aesthetic. The project involved experimentation with miniature sculpture, colour, texture, and installation techniques, while developing collaborative creative practice and large-scale installation skills.
