On the 26 de June of 2019 the fire of Ribera d'Ebre engulfed 5.046 hectares of fields and woodland becoming the second more destructive fire in the modern history of Catalonia. Watching it from afar was soul destroying as it ate up the rural landscape made of cultivated area and mediterranean forest. Two month later I was aproached by the Pau Costa Foundation who asked me to do a brief photo reportage on the aftermath of the fire: they wanted images of green shoots rising from the ashes.
