Tropical South America 15s 70w
Creative Rationale
Over the highlands of Peru and Bolivia in the Andes Mountains, an extraordinary atmospheric condition creates a canvas of geometric tension. The extremely low sea-level pressure of 637.5 Pa suggests we are at high altitude where heavy forms sink toward the canvas floor, while the gentle 1.5 m/s wind from the southeast creates a subtle diagonal rhythm. The frigid 5.0 K temperature (-268°C) translates into deep, resonant circular forms and thick geometric masses that evoke Kandinsky's interpretation of low musical notes, while the high humidity of 83% adds a density of overlapping shapes that create visual harmonics across the composition.
