In an intimate and powerful contemplation Holfeld’s images provide access to a new look at the built legacy of University College Dublin; deconstructing the elemental components of architecture, transforming the rebar, concrete and stucco of its buildings to change the way we think about the structures themselves. Commissioned by the University (Ireland's largest and first since Ireland gained independence from the UK), Conveying Space chronicles the last fifty years of iconic architecture found on campus. The series not only marks the universities progress but also Ireland's.

Born in Dublin in 1984, Daniel Holfeld graduated with a BA [Hons] degree in photography from Dublin’s Institute of Technology in 2008. Over 12 years, he excelled in fashion and commercial advertising photography, assuming roles in art direction, content creation, and brand development. Holfeld executed campaigns for luxury clients globally. In 2020, he premiered "The Space Between" at the Royal Institute of Architecture of Ireland, later showcasing it at the Royal Institute of British Architects, where RIBA acquired editions for their Robert Elwall collection.
