"2 Teenagers & 1 Garda"
This digital collage explores the lives of two young Traveller teens, now living in tough apartment blocks far from their traditional way of life. Raised in a culture built on movement, horse trading, and self-reliance, they now face a world that sees them as outsiders.
With few options and little support, they follow the example of older peers—learning how to get by, often through hustling or small-time crime. They are judged harshly by society and the law, labelled as trouble, rather than understood.
The work questions what happens when a group with deep cultural roots is forced to adapt to a system that doesn’t accommodate difference. How much should a community change to fit in? And how much should society stretch to make space for those who live outside the norm?
