Saoirse Sexton is a photographer and videographer based in Dublin. Her practice traces how she and her audience navigate the contradictions of contemporary life — between tradition and globalisation, connection and dislocation, wonder and disillusionment.

Her work attends to overlooked details and quiet signals of meaning within environments shaped by marketing, concrete, and accelerating change. This attentiveness becomes a way of transforming uncertainty into reflection, asserting the value of presence for mental well-being while finding joy and gratitude in the everyday.

A significant strand of her practice examines how Ireland’s housing crisis permeates the emotional and social lives of her generation. Through both archival and contemporary imagery, she explores how precarity reshapes identity, community, and a sense of belonging, using photography as a means to chart personal and collective transformation.

Sexton studied photography at the Institute of Art, Design + Technology (IADT), Dublin, and completed a master’s degree in Fine Art Photography at Ulster University. She has produced three unpublished photobooks investigating sequence, perception, and the interplay between the self and its surrounding social landscape.
