Dom & Täschhorn
Cathedrals of the Mischabels
About the work
The Dom, the highest summit entirely on Swiss soil, rises to an altitude of 4,545 metres. Beside it, the Täschhorn, a fearsome pyramid, defies the sky with its steep edges. Seen from the depths of the valley, their stature is impressive; but it's in winter, when they're decked out in snow, that their soul reveals itself most powerfully.
On this particular day, the sky let in a pale, almost unreal light. The glaciers, bathed in silvery reflections, seemed to vibrate under the winter glow. I waited for shadow and light to find their right balance, for the lines to take shape with purity. In the bitter cold, the moment offered itself: a limpid vision, where the mountain is stripped of all embellishment to keep only the essential.
To photograph the Dom and the Täschhorn is to capture an encounter. It's an encounter between raw strength and luminous grace, between a thousand-year-old mountain range that reinvents itself with each passing season. This work is a tribute to the winter beauty of the Mischabels, to their timeless grandeur, and to the rare light that transforms the peaks into cathedrals of ice.
