Due to human error with the stag culling in 2023, the local Sika deer birth rate in the Dublin Mountains accidentally skyrocketed.
A quest for new territories among the Sika population lead a herd of deer to move down the mountain, to expand their lives, in this car park. This suburban environment is where the youngest generation have grown and adapted abnormally extroverted and valiant characteristics to survive their new primarily abiotic ecology.
The staggering population spike of this invasive species has been a perplexing spectacle to the local community. A mystifying incident of ritualistic deviation within an environment.
This work challenges what ecological success looks like within a species and questions who decides on this success?
