Creative Rationale

Over the Altiplano of Bolivia and Peru, where extreme altitude creates an otherworldly atmospheric condition with drastically low sea-level pressure and bitter cold temperatures. The violent pressure gradient becomes slashing diagonal marks cutting across flesh-toned forms, while the frigid 3.4K temperature shifts the palette toward icy whites and grays punctuated by aggressive blacks. The moderate wind from the northwest creates dragged brushstrokes that fragment any recognizable forms into pure gestural energy, with the 64% humidity adding fluid passages where colors bleed and collide.
