"Kilburn Cherry" is a collection of photographs of cherry blossoms in Kilburn, London, traditionally the home of the Irish diaspora. The work was inspired by Japanese renku poetry. Bowe has said the "bold appearance of the cherry blossom seemed to play with ideas of hopefulness and revival".
"At Mirrored River" was made over four years in an unspecified Irish midlands town. It contains portraits of young people at a point of transition to adulthood, depicted in their home setting of housing estates, supermarkets and social functions, juxtaposed with images of the town and its surrounding landscape.
