Our landscape is that of urbanscape. Since 1996 people have shifted from a rural to an urban landscape. We perceive the landscape as  we experience it and try to find our place in it. We deny our actual landscape at times. How do we experience our landscape when it becomes commonplace? Do we deny it, or present it as something else? We falsify a perception of the landscape as "natural".  Do we perceive it as such because its conserved, controlled or presented to us in this domineer? More importantly, how do we find our place in the landscape?
