Creative Rationale
Over the warm waters east of Japan in the Western Pacific, where tropical moisture meets continental air masses, the atmosphere carries heavy humidity and moderate winds beneath a field of low pressure. The 88% humidity drives these biomorphic forms to bleed and dissolve into one another like organisms viewed through aqueous medium, while the significant temperature anomaly creates tortured, emotionally charged shapes that press urgently against the picture plane. The moderate easterly winds manifest as gestural marks cutting through translucent washes, and the low pressure compresses these organic forms into a claustrophobic dance of half-remembered bodies and landscapes.
