Matterhorn
in the breath of the clouds
About the work
Wild and grandiose, the Matterhorn embodies the raw power and timeless elegance of the Alps. Its pyramidal silhouette, perfectly cut into the sky, irresistibly draws the eye. The rocky strata and black-and-white contrasts tell a story millions of years old. Here, the mountain is both sculpture and living being, fixed and moving, eternal and ephemeral.
I love the overwhelming atmosphere that emanates from this photograph. It transports us beyond the simple landscape. It's an invitation to plunge into the world of the Matterhorn, to imagine yourself climbing its ridges, feeling the icy wind whip across your face, and breathing in the air from its heights. For me, this work doesn't just show a summit : it opens a door to an elsewhere, a dream of altitude and freedom.
Photographing the Matterhorn in this way is also a tribute to one of the most powerful symbols of the Alps. A summit that has always inspired mountaineers, travellers and artists alike. On this particular day, light, wind and clouds conspired to create a unique face for the king of the mountains. A face I'm happy to share, like a fragment of eternity captured in the moment.
