In my BA thesis, I would like to focus on the reinterpretation of the landscape as the body of our Mother Earth through the perception and belief that it is the source of all life. In the hustle and bustle of today's customs, especially in the Western world, its importance is pushed into the background. At the forefront is the individualistic man and his personal story, separated from the perception of the integrity of existence, subject to many beliefs, prejudices and, on the basis of these, individual decisions, which are often not based on respect for coexistence and on awareness of the consequences of deeds on long-term quality. I find it important to revive the knowledge that the story of life involves not only the individual himself, but also everything around him. In this way, the view of the landscape, which I perceive as the home we carry within us and which influences our actions and way of life, changes and creates our reality on the world as it is. Relationship becomes an important value and consciousness its guide. The inner experience becomes the inner landscape – the story. If we know how to see it connected with the cosmos and the coexistence of everything, we can redirect it to an action reminiscent of the oneness of all that is. The question of the mode of depiction and the story behind the image raises the concept and dillema of how and whether an reinterpretation can be understood in a broader social and cultural context.
