Composed by the Wind

In architectural practice, the building’s composition and every detail must be established and documented before it can be built.
I experimented with an antithetical process, allowing the elements of the painting to be (literally) tossed to the wind.
I then reintroduced time to the process by tossing the same elements into the breeze at different times throughout the day, and documenting their locations accordingly.
