Head jump. Dublin 1963.

In Dublin, 1963, a person is captured mid-dive into the deep blue water of an urban canal lock, their legs arched gracefully as they create a splash. The dive is from a wooden platform attached to the heavy timber and iron lock gates. Alongside the stone-edged canal, a grassy towpath runs past parked vintage cars. The background is a dense landscape of brick townhouses, their rooftops crowded with chimneys and television aerials, capturing a moment of summer leisure in a working-class city environment.
