Creative Rationale

Over the high Andes mountains of Bolivia near the border with Chile, extreme altitude creates dramatically low atmospheric pressure with steep gradients, while the thin air remains surprisingly humid despite near-freezing temperatures. The intense pressure gradient demands a dense network of bold black lines creating numerous small rectangular cells, while the anomalously cold temperature calls for blue to dominate the composition with strategic accents of red and yellow. The calm winds allow for a more balanced asymmetry rather than extreme weighting, and the high humidity translates to thick, substantial black dividing lines that create the geometric framework of this neoplastic interpretation.
