In the majestic silence of the Val d'Anniviers, Thomas Crauwels confronts the Ober Gabelhorn, a legendary summit exceeding 4060 meters. For him, this mountain represents more than a climb; it's an encounter with absolute purity, a harmony between sky and earth, where verticality forms a perfect slope.
Through his work, Thomas captures the essence of the Ober Gabelhorn, its beauty revealed in a series of photographs where each detail matters. This peak, with its imposing north face and pyramidal silhouette, evokes intense memories for Thomas—days when, as a young dreamer, he admired climbers challenging the vast whiteness.
For Thomas, the Obergabelhorn symbolizes the quest for the unreachable, a photographic pilgrimage where each shot pays tribute to the mountain's grandeur. Each piece tells a story of a summit that, beyond its imposing verticality, invites contemplation and excess, defying time and the elements. Capturing the Obergabelhorn is to freeze a moment of eternity against a rapidly changing mountain.
