This is Your Life
This work explores the concept of the geographical imagination and how we construct visual identities of others. It deals with questions surrounding the process of how we visualise others beyond our immediate environment and the image we may construct of a person if we do not possess any real facts or visual reference about the context in which they exist. The work examines the sources or reference points we may draw from in this process and looks at the influences and preconstructed notions that we have been exposed to which may lead to these ideas. The images reflect visually my translations of what imagined geographies may be constructed to visualise my life, by others from outside of my environment based on characteristics about me, such as being from rural Ireland.
