Description: 

Inspired by the "paper doll", a high-relief represents a dress. The back and front are juxtaposed so reversed, one above the other. The lower part (the front) shows a pattern of "root" or "branch". An expression in Irish language, AGUS MHARIDHAR DO GO GO GLIONDRACH WD, inscribed on a metal plate below the high-relief, is none other than the translation of the title.

Text of the artwork: 

AGUS DO MHARIDHAR GO GLIONDRACH GO DEO
