Nothing Lasts Forever
Youth of Ballymun





‘Nothing Lasts Forever’ is a photographic exploration of the fragility of adolescence and life. I portray the lives of the young people of Ballymun by reflecting on the complex relationship we often hold with the places that shape us, our outlooks and identities. This series encourages the viewer to reconsider photography’s role in representation, to question its power and what lies beneath.






Youth observes, takes in, and repeats
Until it outgrows the moment
In the rhythm of play that never stands still
For youth is fleeting, but never lost
