Alpine days

'Downhill skier' from the series 'Alpine days'

Two birds, one stone. Pictured here are two friends amongst many that I've spent time with in the Alps on various trips throughout the years. These mountains will form the backdrop for fictional narratives that I intend to create through the series 'Alpine days'. These stories are far from the reality my friends and I experienced however, the mountains for us and many others represent escape, the sublime, fantasy, stories and fables - much like they did for the folk who lived below the Alps before they were conquered, believing that dragons existed high up. A contemporary subtext exists on top of these narratives, that of humans conquering this landscape for the purposes of leisure and tourism, and its affect on the environment.
