Tropical South America 15s 70w

Creative Rationale

Over the Bolivian Altiplano near the border with Chile, this high-altitude location experiences extremely low atmospheric pressure and frigid temperatures that create a stark, ethereal landscape. The minimal wind and low humidity suggest a still, crystalline environment where every mark feels deliberate yet fragile. I've interpreted these conditions through Tannahill's aesthetic of layered textures and gestural marks, using cool, muted tones to reflect the extreme cold, with sparse compositional elements that echo the thin atmosphere and restrained energy of this high-altitude desert environment.
