My work is informed by my identity as both Albanian and Irish. My focus revolves around the Third Space Theory which is taken from the work of cultural and post- colonial theorist Homi Bhabha. It speaks about one space (Albania), a second space (Ireland) and the third space being the liminal space in between. The Third Space enables the creation of something different, something new and unrecognisable, a new area of negotiation of meaning and representation. As a mixed media artist I employ painting, photography, text, and old objects to investigate issues of displacement, family, language, memory and loss of culture. I portray nostalgia and the anxieties connected to the memories I have of moving away so young. I enjoy painting from old photos I have from Albania and overlaying them with text, whether it be with Albanian songs, Irish poems, or just text that resonates with me. I find this attempts to connect the two cultures. The idea of displacement, or loss of culture, is a big theme in my work as it has affected not only me, but also my family and millions of others across the world. It is a familiar feeling for many people and I feel it is a very important topic to dissect.
