Creative Rationale

Over the high Altiplano of Bolivia near the border with Chile, where thin air creates extreme atmospheric conditions at elevation, the unusual temperature anomaly and high humidity suggest a rare weather system moving through this stark highland landscape. The very low pressure and gentle southwesterly winds create an atmosphere of suspended tension, while the minimal precipitation and moderate visual interest translate into clustered gestural passages with breathing space between dense color groupings.
