Falls the Shadow (2025), is a photographic project made in southern Spain between 2022 and 2024. Focusing on a colony of vultures, the work looks at the entanglement of ecological fragility, cultural symbolism, and the visual conventions used to represent non-human life. By foregrounding the vulture-an animal historically positioned at the threshold of the scared and the abject-the project situates this species as both an ecological indicator and a symbolic mediator of death and regeneration. The title is drawn from T.S Eliot's 'The Hollow Men', where the shadow is a prescient presence, here echoed in the silent passage of avian shadows across the land.

For those that are not familiar with the project, TLP Editions is an ongoing collection, produced and designed by PhotoIreland, that presents work by contemporary artists in the form of uncomplicated publications. These are available through The Library Project in-store and online. All and any funds generated by the project go to producing more copies of the publications, ensuring we can keep promoting the artists and practices represented. These editions are regularly showcased and donated to international events and festivals, such as the Icelandic Photography Festival recently. In addition, TLP Editions also grace some important shelves and collections, including that of the Hasselblad Foundation Library and the Martin Parr Foundation.
