With a vintage barometer mechanism as its heart, High Pressure System plays with themes of atmosphere, pressure, and balance. Framed by calm sky imagery and aged newspaper clippings, the piece suggests an emotional forecast: composed on the surface, coiled beneath. A meditation on the invisible systems that surround and shape us—natural, mechanical, and psychological.
