Until the middle of the fifteenth century the westerners are still intent on defending themselves from the violence of the elements. It is precisely here that an aesthetic vision of nature and the concept of landscape is born and it is at this moment that humans begin to rape nature according to their aesthetic needs.
In our century it seems that humans must return to defend themselves from nature.
These rings investigate this historical concept.
