Western Pacific 0n 140e
Creative Rationale
Over the western Pacific Ocean at the equator, east of the Philippines and north of Papua New Guinea, moderate winds from the northwest carry warm, humid air across vast stretches of open water. The relatively high pressure gradient creates a sense of atmospheric tension while light precipitation hints at the tropical convergence zone's influence. Drawing from Lesley Tannahill's palimpsestic approach, I've layered geometric fragments and organic forms that emerge and dissolve, with the warm temperature anomaly expressed through deep oranges and reds bleeding through cooler oceanic blues, while the wind's northwest direction drives diagonal movements across the composition.
