Piece description from the artist
Named after the Irish poet and steeped in history, Tom Moore's Tavern is one of the oldest buildings in Bermuda and a remarkable example of 17th-century architecture on the island. I love the way the late-day sunlight reflects off the white roof and the building back toward the viewer exuding a golden warmth on the historic building. The typical painted shutters and the white roofs as well as the lantern on the corner bring together some of the most iconic things in Bermuda architectural history telling the story of the past and the present.
Esan Swan is a professional photographer, journalist and picture editor at the Financial Times in London. With deep roots in his community and heritage, his work seeks to represent the rich multicultural storytelling that inspired him in his youth and continues to do so now well into his career. Historical documentary photography and varying art and social movements as well as commercial interpretation of beauty have influenced his work into a contemporary style that could be called its own. Originally from Bermuda and partly raised in the United States, his international approach to storytelling, from commissioned picture essays to independent work on his website, is defined by the aesthetics of nature, design and human connections.
