"Smoke & Shadows"
In this concluding piece of the Settling the Travellers, a powerful nocturnal scene unfolds beneath a moonlight sky.
A large group of Travellers stand around an open fire, gathered not in celebration, but in quiet resistance. Behind them looms a stark high rise housing block - an emblem of forced settlement and erasure of nomadic life. Their horses, symbols of freedom and tradition, linger in the corners of derelict car park.
The fire at the heart of the artwork, crackles and the smoke mingles with the night. The flames cast long tall shadows of the men- phantom-like giants that seem to rise from the ground, echoing the presence of ancestors who once roamed the Irish landscape with dignity and freedom.
This artwork holds memory and mourning in tension, capturing the resilience of a people caught between past and present, freedom and confinement- a visual requiem for the past, and a haunting reminder of cultural displacement.
