Installations and Artists 2025

Flux

Architecture and flow intertwine in a perpetual cycle of transformation and metamorphosis, wherein spatial experience assumes a fluid and evolving character.

Fairytale Amusement Park

This projection invites the viewer into a Fairytale Amusement Park—a space where fantasies become reality and imagination is freed from the constraints of the real world.

Eclipsed to Eternal

An artistic interpretation of Liberation through Lights ‘Eclipsed to Eternal’, is a visual journey that redefines liberations not as a single event but as a profound process of awakening, transformation, and cosmic unification.

Transmutations II

This creative artwork reimagines the General Post Office as a living, evolving structure, breaking away from static monumentality to reveal new forms beneath its surface.

Saoirse and the Spirit of Freedom

A little girl named Saoirse finds a star crushed in the ground. She sets our to restore the star to its rightful place by carrying it to the General Post Office.

The Great Unbinding

A wireframe locks the GPO in digital geometry. Wireframe bubbles burst into vivid, yet tightly structured colour, echoing our controlled digital life. Then a dark tree spreads. Finally, wild, organic colours escape the grid, a true act of liberation.

Lonnaigh do Sholas’ ‘Shine Your Light

This piece tells a story that mirrors Ireland’s enduring journey toward liberation through a condensed reflection on Irish history, from Neolithic age myths and ancient folklore through to the struggle for independence, and into the modern era.

SHINE

This work explores freedom as an inner process – a reclaiming of voice, identity and personal expression. Inspired by conscious hip hop and Dadaist aesthetics, it blends text, glitches and typographic collages.
