‘Over the past two centuries close to ten million people have departed Ireland, including myself. This series is a reflection on the importance of homeland and its impact on identity. As we unravel the ties that bind, we are left with the fear of disconnection and loss of one’s homeland. There is an innate yearning within us to preserve a sense of ‘home’ in physical and emotional terms. Memories of Ireland are clouded by a confabulated subconscious view of rural living, selectively forgetting my previous life which was lonely and isolated. Exploring inner conflicts and complex relationships with home invites viewers to question the ephemeral nature of homeland, thereby gaining insight into feelings of disconnection, detachment and ostracisation.’ – Sadhbh Lynam
