Artwork description:

Inspired by the lone heron, who you can often find hanging out at the end of the West Pier in Dun Laoghaire. He is not scared of people and just sits peacefully looking out on the water. In this piece, I wanted to honour that heron, but also honour the beauty of the West Pier in general.
