Landed Realities

Land is not just a surface we walk upon; it is a living archive, a silent witness to the rise and fall of civilisations, the keeper of forgotten stories. Modern hands model the upper layers of the land; below, it cradles the remnants of lost worlds. To understand land fully, we must explore its visible present and hidden past, where history sleeps beneath our feet. Today, land is a contested, commodified, and constructed space. Its meaning varies depending on who controls it, who desires it, and who remembers what it once was. We might build a more sustainable world by listening to the land's surface and depths.
