The north face of the Fletschhorn

The artwork story

The snow-covered ice wall rises like a monument to infinity, its black and white contrast as sharp as the edges of the mountain flanks themselves. The Fletschhorn, in its winter garb, is a king in its white armor, a silent sentinel over the valley that rests beneath it. The north face, in its sublime majesty, tells stories of icy winds and tireless snow that has wrapped the jagged rocks in a soft blanket.

Every inch of this landscape speaks of the purity and harshness of winter, of the irrepressible power of nature that reigns here with incomparable grace. The snow that collects in the hollows and edges forms a pattern reminiscent of abstract art, in which light and shadow play their part. The cold beauty of this scene magically attracts the eye, making you hold your breath for a moment, as if you could literally feel the cold and the silence that surrounds it.

There is an undeniable sublimity in this world where every sound is muted and the air is clear and cutting. It is a landscape that reminds us of our own transience, of the unattainable heights that only nature itself can scale. Here, in the winter solitude, everything else seems distant and you become one with the majestic silence of the mountain.
