Black and white photograph of the Bellavista ridge in all its splendor. The immaculate jewel of the Grisons mountains in the Engadine. I immortalized this picture when the snow had sculpted each relief with infinite delicacy. The ridge unfolds in a succession of harmonious curves and pure lines that seem to draw a musical score on the white canvas of the mountain. The snow-covered slopes unfold gracefully, undulating gently to the summit.

I particularly like the shapes of the crevasses and hanging glaciers. They create contrasts that give life and depth to the photograph. These mysterious rifts tell the secret story of ice in motion. I love the composition of this photograph, which plays on perspective. I like the lines of force that guide the eye on a contemplative journey through the different planes of this Engadine landscape.

In this monumental portrait of the Bellavista ridge, I perceive all the poetry of Alpine heights. The apparent absence of life contrasts with the vitality of form and texture. Every ridge, every crevasse bears witness to the perpetual interaction between the mountain and the elements. And as global warming inexorably threatens these glacial landscapes, this photographic work becomes witness to a beauty as fragile as it is grandiose.
