Dimensions: 2 × 45 cm W x 120 cm H (Diptych)
Materials: Mixed media (Acrylic, Spray Paint, Oil Pastels, Marker, Pencil, Marker and Glue) on Canvas
Brief Description: This raw, unstretched canvas that confronts self-regret, apology, and inner conflict. Two silhouetted figures, their heads gnawed by red beasts, embody internal torment and disconnection, a reflection of feeling excluded by systems built around words and writing. A blue line links them in a fragile gesture of apology to past and future selves, while a ghostly face at the centre hints at forgiveness, yet also the persistence of self-punishment.
Part of the Tá Brón Orm (“I Am Sorry”) exhibition and the “Automatic Apology “ series, the work probes the reflexive, often unnecessary use of “sorry”, its weight, its emptiness, and its psychological toll. “Regret” is violently crossed out, while the repeated “SORRY” is half-hidden, ignored. Red recalls correction and trauma. Blue carries the possibility of truth and reconciliation. Visceral, layered, and psychologically charged, this piece is the human pyche at its most exposed, grappling with the power and futility of words.
