Grief can be seen as illicit, hushed as not to rock the boat, yet it's a universal sensation that everyone will experience eventually. My Polaroids represent fragmented memories and by altering these images to a grander scale I draw from my own relationship with loss from a young age.

I illustrate the internal disconnect that comes in the wake of bereavement; the narrative in Irish society, upheaval that comes with loss, religion intertwining, and the taboo attached. Memories carried forward as life is navigated, searching for the normality in the mundane day to day while the world feels washed away.
