Created for a magazine dedicated to nature and wildlife, this image celebrates the Alpine Ibex — hunted to the brink of extinction in the 19th century, now protected and flourishing again. The illustration makes the comeback literal: the ibex merges with the rocky peaks until it is the mountain, standing over coniferous woodland as the setting sun glows behind its summit-shaped back. Resilience, rendered as geology.
