In this series, photographed primarily in his hometown of Cork, Brendan Ó Sé portrays Ireland as a place in transition, where fragments of past and present intersect in fleeting encounters. 

The tensions of contemporary urban life surface in moments of solitude within the crowd, in traditions reframed by modernity, and in the ordinaries transformed by color, reflection, and shadow.

Through candid portraits, Brendan reveals the layered nature of human presence, capturing moments that oscillate between playfulness, melancholy, and unguarded truth. While rooted in the practice of street photography, his work continually pushes against its boundaries, drifting toward abstraction, portraiture, and even staged composition. The result is a body of work that resonates with the uncertainty and vitality of Irish life in the early 21st century.

Brendan works across a range of image-capturing devices, including his iPhone, Fuji, and Nikon cameras, embracing both the immediacy of mobile photography and the depth of traditional formats.
