In 2025, EMA initiated HUMANSCAPES, a project structured around two interrelated series — one architectural, the other landscape-based — conceived to confront, reflect, and resonate with one another.  Their foundation lies in a continuous dialogue: they intersect, overlap, and infiltrate each other, revealing how closely paradise borders on hell. Through this deliberate tension, the project reaffirms the role of art and culture: to awaken collective awareness and illuminate the risks and possibilities embedded in our individual and shared choices. EMA explores the idea that life is made of choices. Every decision, individual or collective, opens the way to different destinies for each of us and for our societies. Humanity may continue along the path of nihilism and self-destruction, or create new alliances, rebuild together livable worlds where a truly human existence once again becomes possible.  Life, ultimately, is what we choose to make of it.

The first part of the HUMANSCAPES, called HARDSCAPES, explores a completely dehumanized, hostile, and uninhabitable world. It includes works such as Harnessing the Dark Side, inspired by the Okinawa Prefectural Museum, and Where the Living Is Hardest, drawing inspiration from the city of Norilsk in the far north of Siberia.
