Central America Caribbean 15n 90w

Creative Rationale

Over the Caribbean Sea northwest of Guatemala, where tropical moisture saturates the atmosphere at an extraordinary 98% humidity, this composition emerges from the tension between extreme atmospheric saturation and surprisingly cool temperatures. The dense, overlapping gestural clusters reflect the heavy moisture content, while the cooler temperature anomaly shifts the palette toward steely blues and muted greens rather than the blazing tropical colors one might expect. The gentle wind creates soft, rounded marks that seem to breathe and gather like memory fragments of distant storms.
