Untidy scree fields, intertwined rock structures, battered glaciers, steep meadows with bizarre remnants of snow, compressed villages clinging to the slopes. Lonely roads and paths winding uphill and downhill through the landscape. Lines and shapes that dictate the tone to which the world must conform. In the spatial realm of the mountains, with their beauty but also their inhospitableness, humanity carves its path. There is the ambitious one with the summit in mind, battling through the steep wall and the grand picture. The contemplative one, who steadfastly follows his way. The worker, who diligently performs his daily tasks in the harsh mountain air, and the restless one, who finds a moment of peace in the solitude of the mountains. With delicate strokes, Esther Angst tells stories in her illustrations about the world of the mountains, their inhabitants, and their visitors. At home in the Glarus Alps.
