challenge
The goal was to create an engaging public exhibition that not only highlighted Limerick's diverse personalities but also invited viewers to connect with the subjects on a deeper level. The challenge lay in presenting these stories in a way that was both visually captivating and interactive, without relying on digital screens.

Celebrating Duality
Each portrait was designed to reflect the 'Edge' and 'Embrace' of Limerick, showcasing the subjects' contributions to the city's sporting, creative, and nurturing aspects. This duality was central to the project's narrative, highlighting the complexity and richness of Limerick's community.
Interactive Prints
Utilising the lenticular technique, we produced large-scale prints that change appearance based on the viewer's perspective. This approach allowed us to create dynamic, interactive portraits that reveal different facets of the subjects as viewers move around them.
