Tropical South America

Creative rationale

Over the high Andes of southern Peru and western Bolivia, where the thin mountain air creates extreme atmospheric conditions, this composition captures the ethereal quality of high-altitude weather systems. The extremely low sea-level pressure reading and cold temperatures reflect the rarified atmosphere of this elevated terrain, while the moderate humidity and gentle winds suggest a moment of relative calm in this typically turbulent environment. These conditions inspire a suprematist arrangement of geometric forms that seem to float weightlessly against the void, with cool-toned shapes suggesting the thin, crystalline air and the spiritual elevation of Malevich's cosmic vision.
