The Famine Memorial in Dublin commemorates the Great Famine of the 19th century. Sculpted by Rowan Gillespie, the statue depicts emaciated figures on their way to emigrate. They stand along the River Liffey, symbolizing the millions who left Ireland during the famine in search of a better life. The bronze figures create a powerful contrast to the modernity of Dublin’s cityscape in the background.
