Creative Rationale

Over the high Andes of Peru and Bolivia, where the extreme altitude creates an otherworldly atmospheric environment with exceptionally low pressure and frigid temperatures despite the tropical latitude. The barely perceptible wind and moderate humidity create a sense of suspended stillness, while the absence of precipitation suggests the stark, crystalline air of the altiplano. I've interpreted this rare high-altitude tropical atmosphere through scattered geometric forms floating in vast white space - the low pressure translated into fewer, more substantial shapes, the gentle wind creating subtle diagonal tensions, and the extreme cold expressed through predominantly black and deep blue elements punctuated by occasional warmer tones.
