Fleeting Glaciers

2018-2020

This body of work is a tribute to the landscape that disappears before our eyes. It is a portrait of this majestic yet vulnerable world of ice.

To show future generations the splendour of the glaciers that once shaped our Alps, the series "Fleeting Glaciers" shows the glaciers from their most intimate side. Each image tells a specific story about the characteristics of a glacier. Together they form a unity that documents the diversity, complex shapes, structures and colours of the glaciers.

This series got shortlisted at the Sony World Photography Awards 2021 in the professional landscape category. click here to learn more.
