(Mimicking Nature)

Landscape is a dynamic and emergent process of transformation and adaptation, arising from the ongoing interactions between people and their surroundings. The landscape, as a dominant carrier of human experience, unfolds the story through its various characteristics.

The operation of the landscape is shaped by cultural and historical contexts and influenced by collective consciousness. These factors form and construct knowledge and meaning, shaping our understanding of the world. The ways they are displayed and their use of the entire space explain humans' perspectives on the landscape.
In this project, I use photography to investigate how human beings understand and interact with nature in educational institutional spaces, such as zoos, aquariums, and museums, and to capture these spaces as part of the storytelling of the landscape. Specifically, I focus on photographing how these institutional spaces are formally created, especially how those spaces are oriented and developed, taking into account factors such as weather, light, and air. This allows me to observe how humans collect, preserve, and display natural subjects with cultural and historical significance during their establishment.
