Màiri MacLeod

a storm-battered town on the Outer Hebrides, Scotland

After decades away dealing cards in bustling mainland casinos, Màiri returned to her quiet, storm-lashed island town on the Outer Hebrides. The relentless wind and the sound of the sea were both her lullaby and her alarm clock, stirring deep memories. In this isolation, she creates art using what others discard, reflecting her tacit resolve to preserve the spirit of a fading community.
