Géilleadh-Surrender
Géilleadh-Surrender, this work explores the antithesis of the human relationship, both internal and external, with the natural landscape. For me, it is a relationship with the elements and the structures of rugged West Kerry, that I project human feelings onto. The landscape cannot express empathy for us in a direct or conscious sense. Over time we have imbued the landscape with emotional importance and a significance that provides emotional resources for survival, and inspiration, and it gives us a sense of belonging and identity. With photography, I can infuse something human onto my rocks and ocean images that create meaning with an immersive connection. This landscape holds time and creates visions when one surrenders.
