PUSH/PULL
Exhibition Project

Showing at Box13 ArtSpace 
Opening May 30, 2025

PUSH/PULL is a transdisciplinary exhibition project featuring new works by aisha tida and Leila Mnekbi in the Upstairs BOX at Box13 ArtSpace, developed with the support of ARCOS Dance and funded in part by the City of Houston through Houston Arts Alliance.

Through experiential sculptural and sound works and audience collaboration, PUSH/PULL invites visitors to experiment with notions of agency and collectivity while questioning the patterns, loops, and illusions we wish to escape.

On view at Box13 ArtSpace May 30 through June 28, 2025.


IN/OUT/THRU
Work in Progress
2023-ongoing

An immersive installation that transports viewers to the inside of their psyche, where cognitive dissonance is visualized by geometric patterns and chromatic tension. Sit in the overwhelm that comes from reckoning with who we are versus who we want to be (individually, collectively, societally).

In/Security Blanket (Maybe someday I’ll feel complete)
Installation
2025


Currently on view
Sabine Street Studios @ Sawyer Yards
27 March - 10 May 2025

Unbound and unbacked op art quilt top, hand-mended and reinforced with hyperthin thread. 

Vibrant pattern serves as physical representation of cognitive dissonance and embeds it into the space, like a quiet but intense interruption. The alternating shapes of blue and red vibrate against each other, vying for dominance.

AMOK/TJOUJMT
2020

An experimental pattern- and projection-based video installation developed in collaboration with Leila Mnekbi. 

Overwhelming visuals paired with a poetic questionnaire performed in formal Arabic and English gives  examiners a pause of reflection and meditation amidst the pressure and chaos of the inner city's rollercoaster.


Amok (Bad Human Bean)
2016
An immersive installation designed to overwhelm.

Investigating notions of authenticity, agenda, and self-suspicion, the constructed space relies on chromatic tension, physiological limits, and paradox to recreate the feeling of obsession.
