Grab a coffee at Nadúr Deli and stroll up for a look.

Cancer Research at UCC and the Cork Centre for Architectural Education (CCAE) have partnered to unveil Moving Words – a sculptural installation inspired by William Wordsworth’s Daffodils.

The public are invited to view the piece for themselves for the coming weeks outside the front of the CCAE building on Douglas Street next to Nano Nagle Place.

Created by the CCAE CO-LAB team, the piece aims to raise awareness for Cancer Research @UCC, particularly their survivorship trials that promote patient wellbeing throughout and beyond treatment.

The sculpture stands at the Cork Centre for Architectural Education, accompanied by a QR-coded that links directly to UCC Cancer Research’s donation portal. It was developed with the hope of inspiring all who pass by to pause, reflect and support the work of Cancer Research @UCC.

“We want to remind our students, staff, friends and wider community that, like in Wordsworth’s poem, getting out into nature and staying connected can lift the spirit.” said Aoife Browne, Director of CO-LAB CCAE and lead creator of the installation.

“We hope these words move people to take care of themselves and, if possible, support Cancer Research @UCC.”

Prof Roisin Connolly, Director of Cancer Research @UCC says supporting people to live well through, with, and beyond cancer is a core strategic priority for the team: “We look forward to expanding these vital services in the years ahead to further enhance patient care and outcomes.” she added.
