Our Nation's Sons...
Drawing on Trinity College, Dublin, by Joe Caslin
Cette oeuvre a été créé par Joe Caslin, jeune artiste irlandais acclamé, à l'occasion du One Young World Summit, que l'Irlande accueillera en Octobre 2014.
Joe considère que, en tant que nation, nous avons marginalisé nos jeunes hommes et créé chez eux des sentiments d'abandon et d'apathie. Il est temps de redonner confiance à ces jeunes gars et de leur donner un sentiment d'appartenir. C'est une génération qui cherche l'espoir, qui cherche un leadership.
Une oeuvre d'art comme celle-ci a le pouvoir de résonner, de perturber le paysage visuel de la ville. C'est l'idéologie de One Young World que d'encourager les jeunes à bouleverser la façon habituelle de penser et d'apporter des solutions qu'ils pourront appliquer aux problèmes dans leurs propres pays.
