Coastal Escapes
"The water has always been my reset button. Growing up, the ocean was where I felt grounded — in its waves, its calm before the storm, its endless horizon that reminds you how small you really are. In Spanish culture, there’s a belief that you should always dip into new oceans because they cleanse and purify you. That’s how it feels for me: like a renewal every time. These photos capture that pull, from the cliffs of Portugal to hidden Greek coves to sunsets on Florida sand. They’re not just coastlines; they’re proof that the water will always call me back."
