“Lumen,” a Radiant Mosaic in Dundrum
“Lumen,” a stunning mosaic by acclaimed Irish artist Laura O’Hagan, graces the grounds of Dundrum Church. Installed in June 2019, this artwork was conceived with a profound intention: to offer solace and a beacon of light to those experiencing hardship.
O’Hagan, inspired by a desire to provide comfort during challenging times, initially sketched “Lumen” with this guiding principle. The mosaic serves as a poignant reminder of hope and resilience, particularly poignant as it was dedicated to the final year of the nearby Notre Dame School, which closed in 2019.
