Creative Rationale
Over the high Andes of Bolivia, near the Chilean border, this location sits at extreme altitude where atmospheric pressure drops dramatically and temperature anomalies create stark contrasts against the thin air. The steep pressure gradient of 334.49 Pa/cell translates into densely archaeological layers where multiple painting sessions become visible simultaneously, while the significant temperature anomaly of 8.5K drives chaotic gestural marks breaking through more structured underlying compositions. The high humidity of 83% at this altitude creates translucent veils where earlier work shows through like memories surfacing, and the gentle wind adds subtle directional energy to the scrubbed under-layers.
