Fóidín Mearaí’ (fóidín meaning “little sod of earth,” said to be kicked loose by wild dancing, and mearaí meaning “bewilderment” or “confusion”), I use this idea as both metaphor and method in my work, disorientation becomes a form of activism by reflecting the instability of displacement, where orientation—geographical, cultural or emotional is constantly negotiated. My painting questions how we navigate uncertainty, and seeks connection through shared vulnerability.
