We would like to share with you an extensive interview about our work on the Pico island in the Azores archipelago. The interview was published in the Journal of Sea-Water Aplification.

[…] On Pico, where everything is in conversation with the ocean, Cermak’s practice resonates as both deeply local and radically open. It seeks to understand not only how the sea transforms, but how it transforms us — and what new modes of thinking, feeling, and coexisting might emerge from that exchange.

[…] To become a native in a certain place means for all of us to demonstrate with our lives that the future of our children matters, and to care for the land as if our lives, both material and spiritual, depended on it.
