Sovereign of altitude, the Mönch drapes itself in mist like a lord dons his ceremonial cloak. In this black-and-white photograph, the giant of the bernese alps rises 4110 meters above a sea of clouds. He invites our gaze to follow the ballet of celestial vapors that crown him.

I've waited years for this divine alchemy. Watching tirelessly for the moment when the fog would sculpt the Mönch, when the clouds would play on its flanks to reveal the miracle. The monochrome palette of this work exalts the dramatic power of the moment. From the deep black of the shadows to the milky white of the mists, every nuance recounts the eternal vibration between the solid and the ephemeral. The summit is often photographed alongside the Eiger and Jungfrau. But on this particular day, I decided to focus solely on the Mönch. What a breathtaking beauty! Here, the Mönch embodies the mountain's unshakeable permanence in the face of the fleeting clouds that encircle it. On its summit, the history of ice can be read like an epic engraved in time. Each crevasse reveals a chapter in its long existence, while the suspended glacier that formed beneath its summit bears witness to a time when climate change was still barely perceptible. This poetic embrace between mountain and cloud transcends reality to offer us a moment of eternity.
