The Zinalrothorn
In the heart of the Swiss Alps, the Zinalrothorn stands majestically at 4221 meters, straddling the horizon between Zermatt and the Val d'Anniviers. For Thomas Crauwels, the Zinalrothorn is more than a mountain; it's a natural sculpture, a sharp spire reaching towards the sky, its elegant architecture reminiscent of an ice monster and a magnificent granite summit.
Every ridge on the Zinalrothorn, from the Arête du Blanc to the Rothorngrat, tells a story of endurance, beauty and the eternal struggle between light and shadow. These craggy lines, capturing one adventure after another, are etched in the mind of Thomas, who, through his lens, seeks to capture their essence. His works are visual poems, where the play of light and contrast transports the viewer into a mystical world, making the Zinalrothorn not only a physical challenge but also a spiritual quest.
