pyrenees
Summer 2021
Through rugged landscapes and solitary trails, this project captures the profound stillness and untamed beauty of the Pyrenees, inviting a reconnection with the wild essence within us.
In July 2021, my wife and I embarked on a new challenge: 400 kilometers of hiking along the Haute Route of the Pyrenees (HRP), a path that winds through the highest peaks of this relatively young mountain range. Over the span of 20 days, it was just the two of us, immersed in the raw beauty of the Pyrenees. The Pyrenees, especially the HRP, is still a wild and rugged path, where you can walk for hours, sometimes several days, without encountering anyone.
Traveling with analog photography equipment also reminded us of the importance, rarity, and difficulty of slowing down today. The photographic project, combined with the challenging terrain, forced us to go with the elements. This project aims to inspire and invite the viewer to slow down, and through adventure and nature, to reconnect with the wild and healing force within us.
