A surprising find in the Swiss Alps at around 2080m elevation. A natural formation of rocks and vegetation that fall into an unusually pleasant composition. The stunted growth of a small juniper looks suspiciously like a karikomi found in Japanese gardens. Randomly scattered stones are sharp and angular but are softened by the natural forms of the short grass and stunted scrubs. Behind the impressive southwest arm of Piz Mäder (3100m) a natural backdrop forms into which the landscape enfolds itself. We seem to have same type of perceptual effect used the suibokuga artist Sesshu Tōyō (1420-1506) in which scale and dimensional relations become loose and unstable. In the same moment that we see nature unfold in miniature, we become enfolded by the landscape beyond us.

View to the northwest at 2751m elevation and into Val da Roda
