Located a mile off shore in the Atlantic Ocean, Cumberland Island is the largest of a string of barrier islands protecting Georgia’s 110-mile Coast line.
Renowned for its salt marshes, maritime forests and miles of pristine beaches, Cumberland is a pilgrimage site for people who want to experience a natural landscape virtually untouched by modern humanity.
In 2016, artists Emily and Ernesto Gomez and Christa Kreeger Bowden set out on a multi-year project to document the changing nature on Georgia’s Cumberland Island.
