Ha(o)llowed Ground: Site Analysis of Dinas
2023-2024
Analogue & digital drawings


The lake is ephemeral. The ground is ephemeral. 
Can it be hollow, or even hallow? 

Located in Eryri National Park, Wales, the site of 
Dinas contains a bog (water-saturated land) and 
a fort remain. The ‘bog’ land around the lake gravitates
you downwards, keeping the land unstable and inelastic. 
The fort remain is from the 5th century that illustrates 
the Welsh history and mythology of the Red Dragon. 
Therefore, my proposal aims to question new ways of 
accessing the National Park to physicalise protection 
through the approach of ‘thinness’, weaving together 
geography and the subjective history of the Park as a 
tool for uncovering and protecting what has been lost 
in the landscape;
