This composition interprets atmospheric data from the high Andes of Peru and Bolivia, where extremely low pressure and cold temperatures create a rarified mountain environment. The minimal wind speed suggests a contemplative, largo tempo with fewer but more substantial geometric forms, while the low pressure anchors heavy shapes toward the bottom of the composition. The cold temperature translates into deep, bass-like circles and thick forms rather than sharp triangular elements, creating a visual symphony of weightiness and stillness.
