Creative Rationale
Over the Cascade Range in Washington State, where cold mountain air meets Pacific moisture, an extraordinary temperature anomaly creates atmospheric tension. The moderate northwest wind at 6.1 m/s tilts geometric forms into diagonal flight paths across the suprematist canvas, while the extremely low pressure of 863.6 Pa concentrates fewer, more substantial shapes that dominate the white void. The sub-zero temperature drives the composition toward stark blacks and deep blues, with the high humidity adding density to the floating geometric elements without precipitation to scatter smaller forms.
