Light in the window

Light in the window

Placing a lit candle in the window was an old Irish tradition to welcome friends or strangers on the road to shelter, often associated with Christmas. Here, its symbolism is to welcome home returning emigrants.

 

Mary Robinson became the first female President of Ireland in 1990, promising to be a President for change, embracing inclusivity and community in her term. In her Presidential acceptance speech in 1990, the President-Elect committed to this, saying ‘I am not just a President of those here today but of those who cannot be here; and there will always be a light on in Áras an Uachtaráin for our exiles and our emigrants.’

 

‘It’s An Irish Thing’ collection is inspired by Irish ways and mannerism unique to the Irish, with ink and pen I aim to capture the essence of what it means to live here. Originally from Taiwan, now living here for over 30 years - my illustrations are a hug to the people, places and celebrate doing Irish things. Connecting the humour, wit and unspoken understandings in everyday ordinary rituals. To connect people by appreciating simple yet extraordinary things.
