Creative Rationale
Over the steppes of Kazakhstan, where continental winds sweep across vast grasslands, extreme cold grips the landscape with temperatures far below the seasonal norm. The moderate wind from the southeast creates a steady rhythmic pulse, while the normal atmospheric pressure suggests balanced forces at play. This translates into a Kandinsky-inspired composition where deep, weighty circular forms anchor the lower canvas like bass notes, while sharp triangular elements cut through the space following the southeast wind direction, their crisp edges reflecting the bitter cold that dominates this Central Asian scene.
