The Zinalrothorn
wild jewel
About the work
Our eyes discover the crossing of the Zinalrothorn summit during a winter storm. Just as the high mountains inspire us to conquer them, photography opens the way to a sublime world. The extreme conditions reveal the mountain's wild character. Clouds play around the sharp edges, creating a spectacle of rare intensity. The face rises in organized chaos, sculpted by the violent winds.
I captured this photograph in black and white when nature finally decided to reveal itself in its wildest beauty. In this universe of rock and ice, life seems to have no place. Sometimes, of course, man makes his way up the mountainside, but he's only passing through. Nature, on the other hand, remains overwhelming and indomitable. Photography is born of the wind and clouds that sail across the immensity of the mountains, these tempestuous winds that stir our souls. I'm passionate about mountains when they stir our emotions. I feel a passion for these heights when they encourage us to transcend our limits. And that day, I used all my strength to bring you this exceptional portrait of the Zinalrothorn.
