LIGHT BETWEEN, THE GLACIER HOLDS THE LIGHT

from CHF 60.00

In a landscape of shadow, one thing holds the light: the glacier, pale and luminous against the dark rock that surrounds it. Everything else recedes into blue and grey. But the ice remains - ancient, indifferent, quietly radiant. A reminder that light finds its way, even where shadow runs deepest.

In a landscape of shadow, one thing holds the light: the glacier, pale and luminous against the dark rock that surrounds it. Everything else recedes into blue and grey. But the ice remains - ancient, indifferent, quietly radiant. A reminder that light finds its way, even where shadow runs deepest.

Shadow is not the absence of light. It is what gives light its meaning.

Light Between is a series of seven images from the Pizol in the Swiss Alps - made on a single autumn day, when the sun moved low and long across the mountains. In each image, shadow holds the greater part. And yet light finds its way through: along a ridge, across a wall of rock, into a small fold of grass, over the surface of a glacier that has held it for centuries.

These images do not show the Alps at their most dramatic. They show the Alps as they quietly are - deep, layered, patient. And in that patience, a reminder: even where shadow runs deepest, light does not disappear. It simply waits for the right angle.

Nature reminds us.
