Re. 'Lagoonscapes' - previous post ...

It was the title of the journal in the previous post that caught my attention:

	'Lagoonscapes' made me think of the periplus, used by ancient explorers - sailors to 'map' coastlines and their features. I also realised that people living with: more advanced stage dementias reduced mobility / balance partial sightedness stroke - may negotiate their immediate surroundings (living room ...) using 'furniture walking'. The first explorers did likewise by analogy?
Is a lagoon - a resting place/space - an offering of respite (care)? In 2018 the Oceania exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts https://www.royalacademy.org.uk/exhibition/oceania - highlighted knowledge of the peoples who could read the currents, winds - perhaps in as differentiated manner similar to the Inuit and their environment and cultural beliefs?
