Artwork description:

"Conquered Tide" is a piece of artwork that I hope portrays a part of Dublin that for many is an area one comes to get away from the city, a place of bracing winds and solitude - also, a place that many people see for the first time viewing from the ferries coming across the Irish Sea. I used to go and watch the ferries come in from the bull wall as a child, the pigeon towers were like an anchor pulling them in across the water, welcoming those on board." - Kat Ennis
