I'm writing this from a bench in the park near my apartment, where I often come to slow down. Today, as often happens, my thoughts drifted back to the sea.

The sea has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a small city on Mexico's Pacific coast, where the beach was my park. Back then, it all felt completely ordinary. Walking into the water, swimming beyond the breaking waves, reaching that place where, somehow, everything became calm again.

I remember looking down and finding nothing but darkness. Knowing there was an entire world beneath my feet that I would never fully see. It never frightened me. I had learned to live with that uncertainty without needing to understand it.

I suppose that's one of the gifts of growing up by the sea. Learning that not everything needs an explanation. That some questions will always remain unanswered, and that we can keep swimming anyway.

The sea also has a remarkable way of putting things into perspective. Standing before its vastness, you're reminded of your true scale. What once felt urgent quietly begins to fade, making room for something almost Proustian: a suspended moment to observe, breathe, and simply be.

Back in 2019, while watching the still waters of Port Barton, I wrote down a sentence that still comes back to me from time to time:

I learned a great deal about love's constancy by admiring the sea.

Because the sea endures. It comes and goes with a constancy that is difficult to find anywhere else. Perhaps that's why it has also become the place where I most often rediscover wonder. Sometimes I forget that it's still there. It only needs a little quiet to return.

Perhaps that's what Sunday Walks is. A small space where I share the things that spark my curiosity, hoping they might spark yours too.

HAWAI'I, 2022.

These photographs are as much about the ocean as they are about scale. Watching people swim and surf beneath an ocean far greater than themselves makes visible something we rarely stop to consider: nature is infinitely greater than we are. There is something deeply humbling about that realization. I've always been fascinated by scale—by places that quietly remind us how small we are. Not to diminish us, but to put life back into perspective. The ocean does exactly that.

THE ELOQUENCE OF THE SARDINE — BILL FRANÇOIS

This book reminded me how much wonder lives beneath the surface of the everyday. It brought me back to the curiosity—and the deep connection—I’ve always felt with the sea. It’s the kind of book that quietly surprises you, makes you smile more than once, and leaves you looking a little closer at the world around you.

I’M NOT A LOOK-ALIKE! BY FRANÇOIS BRUNELLE

I loved this photographic series because it captures something we've all experienced at some point: being told we remind someone of someone else—or meeting a complete stranger who looks uncannily familiar. It’s a playful reminder that the world is far more complex than it first appears. Two people can look almost identical, yet carry entirely different lives, personalities, gestures and stories. A beautiful exploration of identity, perception, and on how much lies beyond what our eyes are able to see.

MAGNETISM BY AHMED MATER

Ahmed Mater is one of the leading voices in contemporary Saudi art. Magnetism is one of those pieces that stays with me. Beyond its religious references, what captivates me is the invisible force it suggests—the quiet space between bodies that gives rise to attraction, movement and connection, despite remaining beyond our sight.

GRADIENT WATCH By LAWA

A timeless exercise in minimalism. Quiet, understated and beautifully resolved—one of those objects I could see myself wearing every day.

PALISSADE CANTILEVER LOUNGE CHAIR
BY RONAN BUROULLEC
FOR HAY

I've always been drawn to clean, honest lines, and this chair is one of those pieces I can instantly picture myself Reading, quietly contemplating, or simply existing outside on a summer afternoon. Designed by Ronan Bouroullec as part of the Palissade collection, it carries the thoughtful simplicity and quiet sensitivity that have long made the Bouroullec brothers among my favourite designers.

DOGS
BY AESSANDRA BALDERSCHI
FOR ICHENDORF MILANO

A small delight for every dog lover. Created by one of Italy's most exceptional glassmakers, where impeccable craftsmanship meets a sense of playfulness and quiet elegance. One of those pieces that can't help but make you smile every time you use it.

NENDO
BY OKI SATO

Nendo has long been one of my favourite design studios—and one of my greatest creative references. There's a quiet simplicity running through all of Oki Sato's work that feels deeply rooted in a distinctly Japanese sensibility: thoughtful, restrained and remarkably precise. Passing Rain is a perfect example of why. Rather than designing an object, he captures a fleeting moment in nature—the brief life of a passing rain shower—and turns it into something we can pause and contemplate. It gently reminds us that beauty often exists in the moments we tend to overlook, and that paying attention is, perhaps, one of the most meaningful forms of appreciation.

VICTORIA ALVAREZ PERISCO

Victoria Persico is one of those creators whose genuine passion for the ocean is reflected in everything she shares. Founder of @mindtheseas, she has a remarkable ability to make marine science both fascinating and accessible. This reel on Point Nemo is a perfect example.
