Belfast counts est 30km of walls in a total of 97 different barriers  and forms of defensive architecture, including walls, fences, gates and closed roads. These are primarily in the working-class communities of the north, west and east of the city.  They serve not only as physical barriers separating recognised groups with varying political, cultural or religious beliefs. They are also psychological reminders of the sectarian divisions that have long existed in the city.


This body of work has been awarded first prize in Young Photography  competition in Warsaw in 2006. Then it was published and exhibited both in Poland and Ireland.
