EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Belfast's rich history and modern urban development. The focal point is the iconic Big Fish Sculpture, created by John Kindness, which stands proudly on Donegall Quay. The sculpture's scales are ingeniously represented by pieces of printed blue tiles that depict intricate details of Belfast's past. The image showcases the fusion of art and architecture, as sleek apartments and office buildings line the waterfront. Against a backdrop of clear blue skies, this contemporary landscape harmoniously coexists with nature, symbolized by a solitary tree standing tall amidst the bustling cityscape. Belfast's regeneration is evident in every corner; its transformation from an industrial hub to a vibrant tourist destination is palpable. The salmon-shaped sculpture pays homage to Lagan River, once teeming with fish and now serving as a reminder of Belfast's connection to water. As visitors explore this dynamic city, they are immersed in its historical significance while being enveloped in modernity. This photograph encapsulates both aspects beautifully - showcasing how Belfast has evolved into an alluring European destination while preserving its Irish heritage. Hugh Rooney skillfully captures this juxtaposition between old and new through his lens. His attention to detail highlights not only Belfasts' architectural marvels but also its cultural identity rooted deep within each tile adorning the Big Fish Sculpture.
