Between fading light, drifting clouds and the silent peaks of the Swiss Alps, the moon becomes a solitary presence in the landscape. This series explores the quiet melancholy of the mountains at dusk — a fleeting space between day and night, light and darkness, closeness and distance. The familiar Alpine landscape dissolves into shadows and muted colours, leaving only fragments of rock, atmosphere and moonlight. A visual meditation on solitude, transience and the fragile beauty of a moment that is already disappearing.
