Tropical South America 15s 70w
Creative Rationale
Over the high Andes of Peru and Bolivia, an unusual atmospheric portrait emerges with extremely low pressure creating an almost ethereal, weightless quality while gentle southwest winds carry minimal moisture across the alpine terrain. The remarkably low temperature of 16.1 K drives a palette of deep purples and cold blues, while the moderate humidity and sparse precipitation suggest delicate, crystalline formations scattered across a vast, thin atmosphere. Following Tannahill's approach to layered textures and expressive mark-making, I've created flowing, organic shapes that seem to float and drift, with translucent overlays that build depth while maintaining the raw, gestural energy characteristic of high-altitude weather systems.
