For a while now, I have been thinking about what makes wild places and natural habitats so special to us and what makes these ecocentric environments different to the human centred urban areas and interior spaces that many of us are used to.
In contrast to the fixed character of modern environments that we spend time in, the constant movement of nature makes each experience different. Shifting atmosphere, effects from change in temperature and light levels, weather conditions, seasons, flora and fauna, all highlight an impermanence that is readily visible. Along with growth, spread and decay, the habitat is moving and evolving, its contents varying and fluctuating, it can never be the same from one moment to the next. This is the challenge of wilderness, of nature. It always has something different to reveal, the longer you spend in it, the more unfathomable it becomes.
