Western Pacific 0n 140e

Creative Rationale

Over the Western Pacific near the Philippines and eastern Indonesia, where warm tropical waters meet atmospheric instability, moderate winds and high humidity create a dynamic yet layered environment. The relatively low pressure system with its significant gradient suggests swirling energy, while the high humidity and precipitation call for dense, overlapping textures that mirror Tannahill's rich surface treatments. I've interpreted the moderate wind speed through flowing gestural marks and the warm, humid conditions through layered organic forms in muted oceanic tones with bursts of saturated color representing the temperature anomaly.
