Alain De Botton’s philosophical text The Art of Travel explores our attraction to nature and how it affects our inner being. This is also highlighted in Albert Namatjira’s painting Ljalkaindirma which conveys the artist’s links between his Aboriginal heritage and its culture. Both these texts explore humanity’s connection to landscapes and our own lives through their personal and imaginary insights which reflect their unique methods of representation.

    She was so captivated by the beauty and sublime feeling the landscape had invoked in her, she hadn’t realized what she had done until she was finished.
