Creative Rationale

Over the high Altiplano of Bolivia and Peru, where the thin air creates extreme atmospheric conditions, this composition reflects the mystical quality of such rarified heights. The extremely low temperature of 16.8 K and minimal humidity of 39% inspire pale, crystalline forms that seem to float in the sparse atmosphere, while the gentle southwesterly wind creates subtle spiraling movements throughout the geometric botanical patterns. The low pressure system manifests as dense, overlapping circular forms that anchor the composition, reminiscent of Hilma af Klint's sacred geometries emerging from the ethereal landscape of this remote Andean plateau.
