The most beautiful light sometimes emerges from twilight. Here's a portrait of a legendary summit , the Matterhorn glittering beyond the world. At the end of winter, I reach Zermatt under the furious winds. I'm hoping for a miracle, but my heart is trembling with an insidious fear. Will the snow have whitened the Valais Alps enough? Despite my doubts, I must seize my chance. Climb the mountains and contemplate the sky. In the darkness of the peaks, I hold my breath, when suddenly I see it emerge before me. Like a titan of ice shattering chaos at the dawn of time.

Still imperceptible, the first light draws its fabulous contours in the sky. And I'm carried away by the brilliance of the scene. Through the ridges of the Hörnli, Zmutt and Furgen, my gaze touches serenity. But I must act. To photograph the moment that nature offers me. While the Alps are still shrouded in darkness, the reflections of daylight are already caressing the eastern and northern faces of the Matterhorn. Between heaven and earth, I become one with the mountain. I immortalize the transience, happy that my camera manages to capture this evanescence.

I love the clarity of these diaphanous waves that adorn the mountain in a silvery toga. I love the presence of the lord of Zermatt , who can never be forgotten. The image of a king engraved in our memories. Yet how can we know what will happen when he faces his destiny? When the glacier at the foot of its north face has disappeared, will he defy the sky with panache and never give in to fate? Through it all, his beauty remains. The portrait honors the Matterhorn and guides us into the heart of a celestial realm where grace and eternity unite.
