Work

Kilburn Cherry is a collection of photographs of cherry blossoms in Kilburn, London,[1] traditionally the home of the Irish diaspora.[2] The work was inspired by Japanese renku poetry.[2] Bowe has said the "bold appearance of the cherry blossom seemed to play with ideas of hopefulness and revival".[2]

At Mirrored River was made over four years in an unspecified Irish midlands town.[1][3] It contains portraits of young people at a point of transition to adulthood, depicted in their home setting of housing estates, supermarkets and social functions, juxtaposed with images of the town and its surrounding landscape.[1][3]
