Set in the mountains above the Blenio Valley in Switzerland, The Last Milk captures the final days of the alpine pasture season, a time steeped in transition. The farmers, weary from months of labor, guide their thinning cows through pastures that have lost their lush summer green. As the cold begins to bite, the feeling of an ending, of a season, a cycle, a rhythm, hangs heavy in the air. These images reflect the quiet resolve of life in the high pastures, shaped by the inevitability of change and the approach of winter.
