Bobby's work embodies hiraeth, a Welsh term describing the feeling of longing for something unattainable. Hiraeth weaves its way through her collection, traversing themes such as loss of national identity and a new connection to Welsh culture. Bobby found herself reunited with this place she once knew as home in the disused quarries where she foraged for materials native to Wales, such as slate and other discarded mining offcuts Bobby reassigns the narrative attached to these non-precious materials, infusing them with meaning and in the process claiming back her national pride.
