Moving from one place to another carries with it, a very complicated mix of emotions ranging between excitement for what’s to come and pride in taking a leap to the inevitable fear of the unknown. Moving from Ireland to England has been, and continues to be, one of the biggest milestones of my life. As I write this in October 2025, it’s been just over two months since I made the move, yet I still remember feeling all of these emotions well.

I remember sitting in my bedroom, surrounded by belongings and memories I collected across my 22 years, trying to decide what to bring and what to leave behind. The room was as much of a mess as my mind. Then I noticed my camera. My outlet that allows me to see the world simply as it is. I took a couple of photos of the room as it was, mess and all. Because moving isn’t clean or easy; it’s a process of tearing up roots and starting again.

For many young Irish people today, that experience of leaving is a shared one — a reflection of the Irish government’s ongoing failings, both past and present as the youth leave in their tens of thousands annually. Digging Up Roots, if nothing else, is a documentation of the Ireland of it's time: a visual record of a generation who wish to stay but are forced to leave and a deeply personal expression of my own journey.

"Dublin's Canvas" is a photographic series that documents the people's relationship with the local architecture and showcases how the people of Dublin spread their messages through stickers, posters and graffiti. Stickers and graffiti, they're a global phenomenon! From New York and London to Buenos Aires and Amsterdam, these pieces of art can be found across the globe in urban areas and cities! From politics and football fandom to artistic expression, my series highlights the cultural landscape of Dublin and what my city has to say. Captured in Dublin City and my hometown of Tallaght.

"The McNamees" is a photographic series that is about my family. Family is important to me and they inspire a lot my work. So I thought that I should dedicate a project to my family! Through capturing a combination of portraits, candid shots and items around their houses, this series aims to showcase my family in a way that only I can.
