Creative Rationale

Over the Peruvian Andes in tropical South America, the extremely low atmospheric pressure of 636 Pa creates a sense of violent compression and tension, while the calm 0.7 m/s winds allow for broader, more fluid gestural passages rather than sharp diagonal slashes. The cold 1.7 K temperature and low 42% humidity drive a palette dominated by aggressive flesh tones colliding with stark blacks and whites, with occasional bursts of cadmium yellow breaking through like raw electricity.
