Funeral for Ashes

Funeral for Ashes is an immersive, interactive experience honouring our Irish ash woodlands which are now faced with the risk of extinction.

This contemplative installation features 3D scans of Irish ash trees and their surrounding habitats. Projected across the walls and floor, the piece fully surrounds viewers, plunging them into a poignant, meditative landscape. Generative music and visuals respond in real time to both ecological data and the physical movement of the audience.

The audience are invited to come together in this act of reverence that is aimed as a farewell, a celebration, and a heartfelt tribute to our native ecosystem.
