Creative Rationale

Over the Bay of Bengal off the southeastern coast of India, near Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka, high atmospheric pressure creates turbulent conditions with strong westerly winds and intense heat. The significant pressure gradient of 28.06 Pa/cell translates into a dense grid of intersecting black lines creating numerous small rectangular cells, while the extreme temperature reading and low humidity generate a composition heavily dominated by pure red fields with moderately thick black dividers. The strong 8.5 m/s wind from the west creates pronounced asymmetry, pushing the visual weight toward the eastern edge of the canvas in classic Mondrian neoplastic style.
