Beyond the Surface (set 1, part 1), 2025. Music by d. stine.

My practice spans video production, still photography, and installation. Building on recent underwater filming in the River Lee and Cork Harbour, where Spike Island lies, I explore these ever-changing, interconnected waterways and their layered histories.

The recordings evoke a sense of being submerged and held beneath the surface, reflecting the island’s history as a prison and its role in convict transportation. For me, the water symbolises the only route of escape from the island, yet it carries its own unpredictable dangers, creating a tension between confinement and freedom.
