Silent superlative

The artwork story

Lac des Dix, Switzerland's largest reservoir, stands as a monument of monumental proportions in the Val d'Hérens in the canton of Valais. In the soft light of the evening, its impressive size is enhanced by the surreal light that bathes the surrounding mountains and autumnal slopes in a dreamy glow. The mirror-like surface of the lake reflects the snow-capped peaks and pastel sky, creating a scene of breathtaking beauty and awe.

This grandiose landscape reveals the raw power and timeless splendor of nature combined with human engineering. The reservoir, a superlative in every way, presents itself as a majestic mirror, capturing the surrounding mountains and autumnal panorama in magical reflections. The craggy contours of the mountains, illuminated by the last rays of the setting sun, and the monumental expanse of the lake create a sublime atmosphere that touches the viewer and creates a deep connection with untamed nature and its overwhelming power.
