Peru is a special place for me because I can ground myself and find inspiration there. Especially in the Ancash region, where my family lives on my mother's side. This part of the Andes is called Cordillera Blanca because this landscape is characterized by the highest mountains on the South American continent, which are covered with snow all year round. As a young boy, I spent a lot of time exploring the mountains with my father. Even then, we noticed that there was less and less snow on the peaks each year and that the reservoirs that supply water to the people in the valley were becoming less and less full. Many years later at the end of my studies to become an integrated designer, I took up this very personal concern and dedicated my final thesis to the topic of tropical glacier melt.
