My exploration through my art of the relationship between myself and nature has been a clear result of my homeland during my adolescence. The making of my silueta in nature make the transition between my homeland and my new home. It is a way of reclaiming my roots and becoming one with nature/the maternal source."

Websites to visit for more information about the importance of biodiverse forests in Ireland and what you can do to help:
- Beautiful and informative documentary following the artist Ian Wright that explores what a real forest is vs the commercial timber (Sitka Spruce) plantations, and how these plantations are destructive to Ireland.
- Great website aiming to spread awareness and information about the forests of Ireland, the many benefits (environmental, clean air, health), the issues with Coilite and timber plantations, and so forth.
(For their activist page visit 'Save Ireland's Trees' on Facebook)

My work delves into the psychology of contemporary trauma and this experimental short film is exploring the stigma of toxic masculinity and mental health; looking at the notion of losing one’s true identity and finding a way to reconnect. Without any dialogue it wishes to take the audience on a meditative audio-visual journey that seeks to challenge traditional masculinity and how males are portrayed in mainstream media.
The element water is an important part as it symbolizes birth, protection, weightlessness, but also death; the rivers in Ireland have too many times been the last resort for many people who are suffering. There is a reflective element to moving water, almost hypnotizing and comforting; it can bring peace. On the contrary water can also be overpowering, suffocating, just like the struggles of mental health can be.
The notion of self-discovery is explored through the connection with nature and how a different perspective on manhood and vulnerability can open to change.
