There is a symbiotic relationship between humanity and the landscape, continually evolving, changing and influencing one another; this thought is better understood by the notion of the atmosphere.
Atmospheres can be defined as perceptual states emerging from the resonance between the body’s senses and affective capacities, and the spatial and material qualities of a place.
This approach to the study of place and man is concerned with the psychological and emotional stimulus that arise from that dynamic.
Even though sociological and ecological issues are represented throughout the series, they are the outcome of subjective processes related to affections manifested through phenomenological discourses of time, memory, and identity imprinted in space.
These traces of human intervention deal with themes of longingness, solitude, and nostalgia in contemporary society, through ambiguous and elusive imagery that respond to the personal experience of the land we inhabit.
