The delta of the river Ebro is a mass of land that has an hypnotic effect on the mind, a fragile ecosystem on the verge of collapse. The flow of the longest river in Spain has been tampered with water reservoirs that hold back the sediments that would replenish the eroding edge of the estuary. In 2020 storm Gloria pushed the sea 3 km inland causing the temporary disappearance of the lagoon system and filling the rice paddies with salt water. The delta is fragile, mistreated, yet part of the protected lagoon is still home to 350 different species of birds that come, stay, migrate, return.  Seen from afar, the delta seems to levitate, immersed in its own aquatic scent, light and stillness.
The delta is an island waiting to break free.
