Tropical South America 15s 70w

Creative Rationale

Over the high Andes of southern Peru and Bolivia, where extreme altitude creates unusually low atmospheric pressure and bitter cold despite the tropical latitude, the suprematist forms respond to these harsh conditions. The exceptionally low pressure of 638.6 Pa manifests as a sparse composition dominated by a few weighty geometric forms rather than scattered elements, while the frigid 5.2 K temperature drives the palette toward deep blacks and blues with minimal warm colors. The gentle 3.4 m/s wind from the northwest creates subtle diagonal tensions in the arrangement, suggesting forms drifting slowly across the white void of this high-altitude landscape.
