Drifting between analysis and poetry, the head loops back and forth, reflecting on existence within the space and time it occupies.<\/p>\n<p>Together with its company of abstracted stars, the bronze objects resist with their weight the intangibility of what they signify, uniting the ephemerality of the macrocosm with grounded matter. Visitors are invited into this suspended landscape, where matter, memory, and meaning collide, and where uncertainty and awe linger. Project runs in Rua Red from 3rd October.<\/p>\n<p>Domnick Sorace is an Italian\/Maltese multimedia artist based in Dublin since 2018, after completing a B.A. (Honours) in Fine Arts from the MCAST Institute of Creative Arts, Malta. His practice searches for balance between permanence and transience, the analytic and the poetic, often explored through imprints of faith, emotions, and the experience of inhabiting a human body. Moving between sculpture and installation with an open approach to materials, his aim is resonance, leaving space for relatability.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":38386,"template":"","class_list":["post-38385","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>When Stars Collide - Domnick Sorace - Creative Ireland Programme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"When Stars Collide is a multimedia installation that reshapes the gallery floor with paths of sand and heaps of gravel, where fallen stars and a decapitated bronze head reside.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/when-stars-collide-domnick-sorace\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"When Stars Collide - Domnick Sorace - Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"When Stars Collide is a multimedia installation that reshapes the gallery floor with paths of sand and heaps of gravel, where fallen stars and a decapitated bronze head reside.&nbsp; The head becomes both relic and narrator, voicing dilemmas and contemplations: fragments of memory, inherited beliefs, the body is lost, its disappointments, and its hope \u2014 [&hellip;]\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/when-stars-collide-domnick-sorace\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CreativeIrl\/\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@creativeirl\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/when-stars-collide-domnick-sorace\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/when-stars-collide-domnick-sorace\/\",\"name\":\"When Stars Collide - Domnick Sorace - Creative Ireland Programme\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/when-stars-collide-domnick-sorace\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/when-stars-collide-domnick-sorace\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/app\/uploads\/2025\/09\/diversity-award.png\",\"datePublished\":\"2025-09-27T02:04:00+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/when-stars-collide-domnick-sorace\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/when-stars-collide-domnick-sorace\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/when-stars-collide-domnick-sorace\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/app\/uploads\/2025\/09\/diversity-award.png\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/app\/uploads\/2025\/09\/diversity-award.png\",\"width\":700,\"height\":450},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/when-stars-collide-domnick-sorace\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"When Stars Collide &#8211; Domnick Sorace\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/\",\"name\":\"Creative Ireland Programme\",\"description\":\"The Creative Ireland Programme is guided by a vision that every person in Ireland will have the opportunity to realise their full creative potential.
