Creative Rationale

Over the high Andes Mountains in Peru, near the border with Bolivia, extreme altitude creates a unique atmospheric signature with very low absolute pressure but a significant pressure gradient. The moderate wind from the northeast and cold temperatures with high humidity suggest conditions near a glaciated peak. I'm interpreting this through Riley's systematic optical language: the cold temperature calls for her classic black and white palette, the moderate wind speed creates medium-frequency undulations, and the steep pressure gradient demands tightly packed parallel lines that seem to vibrate and pulse with mathematical precision.
