About Imagination and Reality Illustratioun

Dës grouss Fënsterdekall illustréiert wou d'Realitéit an d'Imaginatioun zesummefléissen fir en Androck vum Liewen vun engem Individuum no enger medizinescher Interventioun ze kreéieren. D'Illustratioun ass um Glas vun der Innersäit vun dësem impressionante Gebai ugebrach, mat enger Héicht vun iwwer 10.000mm. Dëst Konschtwierk gouf mat Accessibilitéit am Kapp kreéiert. D'Konschtwierk ass an engem Fënsterraum installéiert well Fënsterraim vu baussen dem Gebai aus zougänglech sinn fir ze kucken. Dofir kënne Leit aus der Ëffentlechkeet, déi d'Bild kucken, an hirem Auto bleiwen fir d'Bild ze kucken falls hir kierperlech Aschränkungen dat erfuerderen.

The medium is vinyl and each section was installed on the same day.
Design Challenge: The greatest challenge was the scale of the image. This artwork was the first large scale illustration by this artwork. Cork city is host to incredible street art and this piece of artwork had to stand up to the artwork that already exists in the city while also being respectful of the host building.
