Take something as vast as the ocean and look at it really closely - identify the beautifully ephemeral and unique nature of every single wave, every drop of water in unceasing motion. In our own uniqueness, do we really understand how connected we are to the rest of the universe? Are we ever present enough to really take this in? Does the ocean know the sea exists?

Through this question, that mirrors Pablo Curto and Nuria Val’s connection with the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, we seek to build a bridge that generates a conversation about community and connection with nature - there’s something magical under every stone, grain of sand, in the clouds and in the wind. It’s precisely Pablo and Nuria’s devotion to nature, present throughout all their work, that brought them together to collaborate after years of friendship on this project, developed closely with Sample.

Nature’s resilience is a source of reflection specially in a time of urgency and immediacy. We hope that portraying the unspeakable beauty and mystery of our planet highlights the importance of respecting the world we live in.
