Creative Rationale
Over the high Andes of Peru and Bolivia, where extreme altitude creates the unusual atmospheric conditions of very low pressure and frigid temperatures despite the tropical latitude. The gentle wind from the northeast creates subtle diagonal tensions in the composition, while the low pressure manifests as fewer, more substantial geometric forms dominating the white space. The bitter cold temperature drives the palette toward deep blacks and blues, with the high humidity adding density to the arrangement of suprematist elements floating in cosmic suspension.
