Sharing the Land – Notes on Nature explores how human beings perceive, represent, and give meaning to nature – and how these processes continually shape one another. For Sabina Timmermans (NL), the starting point is personal: growing up among the plants in her parents’ nursery garden fostered an intuitive connection with the living world, one that now underpins her artistic exploration of the ever-evolving relationship between humans and landscape.

Timmermans understands our perception of nature as a combination of physical encounters and cultural framing. Individual experiences are shaped, in part, by collective images passed down through art, literature, and science. She reflects on the influence of Romanticism, suggesting how its vision of ‘untouched nature’ has contributed to the persistent separation between humans and the natural world – a concept increasingly challenged within ecological and posthumanist thought.
