Gateway for Imbolc embodies a transition from winter to spring. Inspired by St Brigid’s Cross, traditionally a  symbol of protection above the front door of the home, this installation marks a threshold of safety and  prompts reflection on extending the caring mindset outdoors. Imbolc’s return to life is mirrored in new shoots  and whispers of reemergence. The site-specific proposal, in collaboration with environmental mediums,  provides a moment of care during this seasonal transition. Encouraging interaction, visitors are invited to  adorn the sculpture with their St Brigid’s crosses throughout the month, intertwined with repeated Twelve Rush Crosses, resulting in a collective celebration of home and nature, entangled.
