Famine

County Dublin, Ireland

The Famine Memorial, officially titled Famine, is a memorial in Dublin, Ireland made by Rowan Gillespie. The memorial, which stands on Customs House Quay, is in remembrance of the Great Famine (1845–1852), which saw the population of the country halved through death and emigration. The installation consists of six tall bronze figures that are depicted in harrowing states of despair. They are depicted as walking towards a ship at the docks, carrying the little they had.
