Abstract portrait of the Mont-Rose massif. I captured this fleeting moment as the elements unleashed themselves on the east face, offering a spectacle as raw as it was gripping. The seracs stood like impassive sentinels against the relentless onslaught of the wind. On this particular day, nature graced me with a diffuse, almost mystical light, enveloping the scene in a silvery veil. The photograph reveals every relief on this face, where rock, snow and ice engage in a thousand-year-old dance. I love the graphic dimension that emanates from this work, on the edge between reality and abstraction.

The wind has drawn ephemeral arabesques on the slopes, creating the play of textures that animates the painting. It carries away the fresh snow crystals and mixes them with the clouds, blurring the boundary between sky and mountain. Dark rock emerges in places, creating the striking contrasts that give life and depth to the image.

This photograph is the fruit of a privileged encounter with the high mountains in one of their moments of grace. It reminds us how these giants of stone and ice are both eternal in their presence and yet in perpetual metamorphosis. With each season, their faces are transformed, offering the photographer ever-new tableaux.

In this moment suspended between two storms, I felt a profound communion with the mountain. This raw power that surpasses us and invites us to humility. The resulting work is a testimony to this wild, timeless beauty that will continue to amaze us forever.
