The stunning coast of Marbella rapidly turns into a forest of concrete — wild beauty giving way to endless residential areas. In this photo, a woman stands on a lonely pillar in the sea, strong and graceful. She’s a symbol of what’s still here, and what we risk losing. The pillar represents massive human intervention that is not going away. I wanted to capture the fragile balance between human presence and natural beauty. Nature and progress can live side by side, but only if we let beauty lead the way.
