Earthly Edits, 2024 - ongoing
50 x 70 cm
"Earthly Edits" examines the concept of landscape as a social construct through the theme "Landscape sponsored by tourism." The project explores how human activities, particularly tourism, influence and reshape landscapes to meet various needs. It considers how socially valued ideas, idealized images, and human desires shape these transformations. The work adopts a socio-constructivist perspective, focusing on the role of humans in shaping and interpreting landscapes. Landscapes are viewed as the result of both physical and social interactions, experienced subjectively and interpreted individually.In addition to their functional aspects, landscapes are presented as aesthetic constructs influenced by cultural values and open to diverse interpretations. As integral parts of daily life, landscapes encourage active engagement, fostering a dialogue with their atmosphere and inviting reflection on the relationship between humans and their environments.
