Mount Rose, Lyskamm
The Infinite Grandeur of Glaciers
About the work
I did this from the Gornergrat. From this classic vantage point, I wanted to reveal the mountains in a new light. To highlight their exceptional scale, which seems so close when in reality they are several hours' walk away. The photograph sublimates the vaporous beauty of these giants of ice, who, united by the same destiny, appear to us to be eternal even though they are fragile.
On this spring morning, the mountain is reborn after a snowstorm that plastered its rocks. It's a white day. A suspended moment when the sky is covered with high-altitude clouds, playing with our landmarks and sensations. I love the unique contrasts that nature offers us in such circumstances. My photography highlights the beauty of the subdued light that caresses the glaciers, sparkling with purity. Close to abstraction, the mountain's features guide our minds to another world. Where dream meets reality.
