She rightly said that your work was more involved a walk through the landscape. you Crossed person, or at least you do not seem want to deal with any presence on the site. When you look at your contact sheets, we imagine you shoot while walking, or walking, photographing, and we see that this is the park space that inspires you in first, the monument comes second, in the background.
