Art is not the imitation of nature, but a metaphysical complement that will enable the transcendence of nature itself. Art is the fundamental metaphysical activity of humankind. Similarly, Cézanne stated that art and nature present themselves as two parallel harmonies, existing alongside one another, thereby being equal. It is these liminal spaces, the transitional overlap between two ideas, that I find fascinating. The most common and ancient of these spaces exist in the threshold between culture and nature. I aim to show the simplistic beauty of the land, the complexity of systems and sophistication of nature to inspire us to higher reasoning of collective responsibility, discourse and education to nurture that which house us. “We have art so that we shall not die of reality” - Nietzsche
