
Human history is written on landscape, which has changed throughout history according to the changes in the model of man’s relationship to nature. It is a metaphor of evanescence, a spiritual connection with the environment, an expression of intense emotions, a determinant of cultural and national identity, a concept of place. There is continuity in the shared alteration of shapes and forms and the creation of new ones on behalf of man and nature. The incompletion and inability to stay closed within oneself is what makes fragments appear. A fragment remains in conflict with itself because of the disintegration of its two opposing parts: the first one that strives for completion, to become part of a whole, which does not see itself as perfect without a part that signifies affiliation; and the other one that steps out of its own boundaries by allowing the possibility for this very incompletion to be the end (refuge) of the perpetuated form.
The observed fragments of nature, as representations of its deconstructed parts, survive sometimes in synergy and sometimes as independent systems. The fragments that I recognize as such are both processes of human creation and processes of monumental landscape elements, partakers in the overall experience of nature.
Looking at the layers that pile up or fall away, the idea of dis/appearing emerges.
Every last layer is also a marked moment in the creative act of nature.
