Highlighted Works

• The Ancestors
  A deeply textured piece, The Ancestors explores the layered complexities of identity and history. Two prominent faces evoke emotions of sadness and reflection, while hidden features emerge upon closer examination. These details symbolize the unseen forces that shape who we are, encouraging viewers to reflect on the enduring influence of the past on the present. It is a work that acknowledges the unspoken bonds and histories that we all carry.

• Under a Blood Red Sky
  This work captures the duality of migration—a journey marked by both struggle and hope. Abstracted figures blur the lines between warriors and wanderers, set against a red ground that suggests conflict and a striking sky that evokes powerful emotions. The piece raises questions about survival, renewal, and the courage it takes to seek new beginnings. It is a reflection on the human drive to move forward while carrying the weight of what has come before.
  

• The Last Fisherman
  A poignant reflection on the loss of indigenous fishing traditions, this work captures the tension between Ireland’s rural heritage and the migration to urban centers for work. The subtle hint of the Poolbeg Towers on the horizon connects this narrative to modernity, while the figure of the fisherman opens questions about faith, tradition, and the sacrifices made in the pursuit of progress. Is the fisherman a symbol of cultural loss, a spiritual guide, or both? The work’s ambiguity encourages reflection on these layered meanings.
