Belonging

As part of Limerick city's bid for the European City of Culture in 2020, the local design studio Piquant created a vibrant mural on derelict buildings, proclaiming, "Culture is where we are, Culture is where we are going." Sadly, the mural was soon vandalized. This work reflects an effort to restore its vibrancy.

This project led to other combinations of illustrations with photographs of derelict buildings in the city. The aim was to make these overlooked spaces visible and to question why they stand empty or are being developed into more office spaces amid a countrywide homelessness crisis.
