A year spent at the precipice of severe climate change in oceanfront Spain.
Delta is the magnificent result of a year spent on the island of Buda, contemplating the passing of the seasons, the marshes, the seabirds, and a relentless horizon. In its pages, Gabi Martínez stitches scenes of the natural world alongside the day-to-day lives of this unique island’s residents, many of whom have called it home for generations. But something disrupts the slow rhythms of eel fishing, rice farming, and the Ebro River’s flow to the coast. Something is shifting.
As climate change tilts the scales of a fragile coexistence, and rising sea levels threaten to swallow their homes, the island’s locals must reconcile their past and future—both beholden to a region that grows more endangered with each passing day.
