“Talamh discusses Irish political identity, memory, land, borders, and peace. Myself and my uncle, who was the first to teach my siblings and me how to play Irish folk music, are featured in the work. Abstract landscape and language flow in a continuous line, and daffodils—symbols of rebirth—surround each of us.”
