Giant 'Free Palestine' Sand Art Appears Near Trump's Irish Resort

On Monday, June 2nd, 2025, environmental artist Sean Corcoran and two collaborators created a significant sand art installation on Doughmore Strand in Doonbeg, County Clare, Ireland. Their creation, a 106-meter-wide message reading 'Free Palestine,' was situated directly adjacent to US President Donald Trump's golf resort. The project attracted considerable attention, highlighting the ongoing political conflict in Palestine. The timelapse video, provided by RTÉ News, showcases the artists' work and the eventual disappearance of the message due to the tide. The choice of location, near Trump's resort, adds another layer of complexity to the event, raising questions about political expression and artistic freedom. "It was important to bring attention to the situation in Palestine in a creative way," Corcoran stated. The project, while temporary, served as a powerful visual statement, prompting discussion about the conflict and its global impact. The temporary nature of the artwork also adds a symbolic layer to the message, emphasizing the transience of events but the enduring nature of the cause.
