Matterhorn
Éclats de l'Aube
About the work
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.
