What is a mountain?

What is a mountain? is a zine that collects a series of drawings about the concept of a mountain.

What is a mountain?  is a question that inspires a series of drawings that question us and take us back to the ancient tradition of romantic travel through the mountains.

The definition of a mountain is neither linear nor universal. As landforms existing on all continents, places of worship and centers of biodiversity, they are magical places and a source of curiosity since the beginning of time.

“The secret of the mountain is that the mountains simply exist, as I do myself: the mountains exist simply, which I do not. The mountains have no "meaning," they are meaning; the mountains are. The sun is round. I ring with life, and the mountains ring, and when I can hear it, there is a ringing that we share. I understand all this, not in my mind but in my heart, knowing how meaningless it is to try to capture what cannot be expressed, knowing that mere words will remain when I read it all again, another day.”
Peter Matthiessen, The Snow Leopard
