This project was shot in 2010 on the way to Damodar Kunda, in the Mustang region of Nepal. It is a sacred site for both Buddhist and Hindus believers. Its sacred lake, as well as its holy mountain, is the terminus of a long and exhausting pilgrimage at altitudes ranging from 4000 to 6000 meters.

In this portfolio my images play the role of a pilgrim’s eyes. In a remote region of the Nepalese Himalaya they try to catch the meaning of a man’s journey, focusing on the purification of a soul through the unreal beauty pilgrims usually witness on their sacred trail. There is a meaning on every step and on every beauty the eye perceives, beyond any conventional prayer. The exhaustion vanishes through the landscape. The sense of scale disappears: nature then becomes the prayer, impossibly massive and curiously small at once. An unparalleled beauty.
