Rebecca Bradley-Young
Statement
Nature is the influence behind the creation of my work.
Humans need nature and Nature needs humans. We are interconnected.
I created an immersive environment to tell a story in glass; a walk in the woods. It is based on ‘The Island Wood’ situated in North Cork, a place I feel very privileged to know and live alongside. I am called to shed light on its magical properties.
I have experienced first-hand that regular ‘Forest Bathing’ is healing and necessary to regulate the nervous system, a vital part of living a healthy lifestyle. Ireland currently has only two percent of its native tree coverage. If these percentages do not increase year by year; this magic energy will cease to exist.
I aim to highlight the power of nature, along with an optimistic hope of... ‘What Will Be?’
