At dawn, the first light caresses the peaks. The Matterhorn and the Dent d'Hérens stand side by side, majestic and unchanging, guardians of the Valais Alps. At 4,478 and 4,171 metres above sea level, these two mythical pyramids embody the grandeur and fragility of the high mountains.

I created this work in 2020, in the aftermath of a storm. The glaciers were still silent. Fresh snow spread its mantle over the ridges, erasing for a time the scars of the past season. As day broke, a ray of light grazed the flanks of the Matterhorn, revealing its refined profile. It was answered by the Dent d'Hérens.

Through this magnificent panoramic photograph, I wish to share with you the very essence of the mountain: its purity, its strength, its mystery. The contrast between the two summits tells the story of the Alps. The Matterhorn, flamboyant and conquering, symbol of eternity. The Dent d'Hérens, wilder, more secretive. In the soft morning light, their lines come together to form a single breath.

I often contemplate this work as if I were reading a poem. Every detail, every shade of grey, every sliver of snow reveals a parallel world. For at the edge of the sky, where the winds whisper and time stands still, there remains the promise of an elsewhere. A world where all is grandeur, silence and absolute.
