Abstract
Landscape can be perceived as ‘the soul’ of a country. It is a lyrical composition of many elements, inclusive of both man and nature. It is the ultimate capsule of time, memory and culture. One of our deepest needs is for a sense of identity and belonging, and as humans we revert to the landscape in search of that physical and psychological connection. Nature, monument and the collision of cultural and historical layers evoke memories and heighten sensual awareness. There is a landscape that corresponds to us all individually; intensities of landscape to meet the complexities of the mind. Landscape is not simply what one sees, but a way of seeing. We rely greatly on our sense of sight, but often disallow ourselves the time to, or become incapable of, truly perceiving and comprehending our surroundings, stunting our sensual and emotional engagement.
