The Red List Project is a publication aiming to raise awareness about the critical state of Irish plant life, focusing on the country’s most endangered species at risk of extinction. As modern life increasingly separates people from nature, interest in wildlife and awareness of its decline have diminished. This growing disconnection has led to a widespread neglect of plant life and its essential role in ecosystems. The publication seeks to reconnect the public with the natural world and encourage active interest in native flora and its conservation.
This project explores the emotional and narrative power of everyday objects, focusing on how people use personal belongings to preserve memories and mark key moments in their lives. By examining the concept of sentimental value, the work highlights how objects become vessels for memory, identity, and personal history.
