    The thesis essay 'Transitory Beings, Immutable Earth' discusses the idea of “home”, contrasted with that of an empty house or a shelter, and the intrisic human longing for a safe space, both physically and emotionally. Discussed is the connection between reflective contemplation and solitude, and it reflects upon the act of waiting in a society that promotes an accelerated pace, and in what ways solitude is represented.
    It also investigates the relationship between humans and the land, contrasting historical and cultural thoughts of nature through ecological discourse. Some of the issues following the rapid urbanisation of modern society are viewed in the light of the difference between emergency shelters, and homes. The sense of home is also examined in its separate elements and viewed from a feminist standpoint, and the house as a symbol in contemporary art is discussed. The concepts of traveling in land art, as well as sites and non-sites are also examined.
    The theories mentioned above are mediated through my thesis project Upon Shifting Land (2021), in which I attempt to connect the viewer with the evanescent human experience when faced with the forces of uncompromising land, and the history remaining within objects, as traces remaining of a journey.
    Referencing contemporary artists working with the house and nature through installations, site-specific artworks and land art, the explored themes are put into larger cultural context.
