N2 - [Absence] II is a reflection of my encounter with a moorland landscape, emerging from it the entanglement of the human and the other-than-human nature in the co-construction of a (un)therapeutic landscape. As I walked that day and during my writing, layers of memory, emotion and history emerged, disowned by me and displaced as properties of the landscape. Leaving behind a landscape I found (and still find) haunting and yet the material nature of the moorland hasn’t changed over the time I have known it, the risks of bog, of rock, of getting lost remain the same. It is my gaze that has shifted and continues to shift as I grapple with my emotions and my existential questions of purpose, of meaning, of being. How much I am willing to let this landscape in, depends on the story I am telling myself.
