The silent heroes of the mountains

This photo series explores the silent, heroic acts of machines. Millions of people travel to the snowy mountains each year. They all rely on the huge machines that carry them from mountain top to mountain top. This series focuses purely on the machines. The supporting systems of the mountains, the dutiful transporters of humans, the carriers.

In the winter mountains

On a particular snowboard trip, I found myself repeatedly in locations without that many other people around. The machines however, were always there and in sight. The combination of the enormous, age-old mountains and large scale machines stood out to me. It felt simultaneously overwhelming and comforting to me.
