In the painting, the Sgraffito lines form a crucial part of the narrative, representing the tension between cultural identity and change. The etched lines in the green and orange sections reflect the rich history of the Irish language and heritage, deeply ingrained yet vulnerable to external forces. As migration brings new voices, there’s concern over the loss of these cultural elements. Yet, the Sgraffito also symbolizes resilience—carved into the paint, they remain visible, showing that while Ireland evolves, its roots are strong, and new cultural influences can coexist with its longstanding traditions
