Steel fog, over the páramo.
Sub-zero fog rolling across a high Andean páramo. Frailejón leaves catching the mist. The taste of cold metal in the back of the throat. Somewhere in the grey, an unwarmed espresso, bitter and stripped of every gourmand association.
High-Altitude Brutalism
№ 02 · Composition
Freezing, mineral-heavy fog over the páramo meeting the rusted steel of a brutalist structure. Sub-zero metallic air against the deep, bitter warmth of black earth. Austere, intellectual, incredibly sharp.
