The Verbier 3-D Foundation proudly announces the launch of Pavillon de l’Eau, a bold new public art initiative within the Verbier 3-D Sculpture Park that reimagines how large scale visual works can meaningfully engage with both the alpine landscape and the essential, life-sustaining presence of water.

This new project invites artists to submit original works to be exhibited in a striking panoramic format printed on weatherproof fabric and mounted on a custom built metal structure, positioned in a prominent scenic location within the Sculpture Park. Each year, one selected work will be presented for twelve months, offering the public an extended encounter with art in an unexpected and powerful form.

The central and ongoing theme of the Pavillon de l'Eau series is water — a vital element that shapes the alpine environment and underpins its fragile ecosystems. Artists are invited to interpret the theme expansively, drawing from environmental, cultural, social, or poetic perspectives to reflect on water’s profound role in our interconnected world.

To launch the project, the Foundation has commissioned local artist and filmmaker Melody Sky. Known for her dynamic visual storytelling and deep connection to nature, Sky’s work captures the elemental energy and sublime beauty of mountain landscapes. Her inaugural artwork, Sous Vos Pieds, created in collaboration with local water company ALTIS, draws attention to the region’s water systems, honoring both the visible and invisible forces that sustain alpine life. 

By grounding her palette in real hydrological data — from source hardness to seasonal shifts — Sky transforms Sous Vos Pieds into a contemplative and sensory experience, celebrating the unseen forces flowing just beneath our feet.
