7 Summits by Dawn Kim

What you’re looking at is more than just inspiration for a really great album cover — it’s artist Dawn Kim’s exploration of the 7 tallest peaks on each of the 7 continents: Kilimanjaro, Vinson Massif, Kosciuszko, Aconcagua, Everest, Elbrus, and Mount McKinley.

Inspired by the effort, courage, and difficulty that goes into climbing a mountain, Dawn used cyanotype to create blueprints of these 7 notoriously-difficult-to-surmount peaks, as inspiration to meet all challenges in her life with the enthusiasm of a climber.
