Snow-covered spruce trees with heavy, sculpturally shaped branches in winter

Sculptures

The weight of snow changes the shape of the spruces. Branches become heavy, almost sculptural figures. Rain and rising temperatures make these forms disappear again.

Snow-covered wooden cabin as a sculptural form in dense fog

Snowbound

Schneemassen verwandeln eine Hütte in eine skulpturale Form. Dunkles Holz kontrastiert mit Weiss, Nebel verstärkt die Abgeschiedenheit. Snowbound eröffnet das Quintett wie ein Prolog – ein Monument, das im Moment schon sein Verschwinden andeutet.

Snow-covered forest areas draw curved lines across a mountainside

Hillside Calligraphy

Snow-covered woodland traces curved lines across the slope. Differences in brightness reveal the shape of the terrain.

Fog between snow-covered slopes and dark forest at Flimserstein

Veiled

Mist lies between the snowy slopes and the dark forest. Some contours emerge, while others disappear into the grey.

Lake Cauma in stillness in the morning with snow, reflections of the forest and sky.

Fleeting Dawn

Lake Cauma lies still in the morning. Snow covers the shore, while forest and sky are reflected in the calm water.
