Eamon McKenna
a subsidized flat in a Belfast housing estate
Eamon McKenna lives a life woven between the sunrises on the Lagan River and the constant thrum of an engine room. His childhood in Belfast, marked by the hum of traffic and whispers of factory work, led him to a life on the water. The engine room is his solace, a place where leaks and noises map a universe of mechanical puzzles he can't help but solve. His evenings are spent tending to his allotment and navigating the fragile balance of self-sufficiency and the whims of nature.
