TALENTED Flintshire students have once again entered an art festival with their interpretations of identity. Year 8 students from St Richard Gwyn used their photography skills to interpret this year’s TypeTrail word: ‘Identity’. Dressing up in clothing and colours that would signify who they are and where they come from, glimpses of rugby and football shirts, scarves, handmade dragon masks, green and red outfits and national flags can all be seen. The aim was to portray themselves as emerging from the shadows, with their identities revealed by the glowing lights of the letters that spell out the word ‘Hiraeth’. A school spokesman said: “‘Hiraeth’ is a Welsh word that is difficult to translate into English as there isn’t one single word that expresses all that it means.
