Pinwheels are growing in fields of wind currents. The fields are made of maps of global wind currents and ocean maps with wind roses (indicating the direction of winds) were used for the sky.
I am intrigued with the idea of growing wind. Pinwheels are depicted instead of wind turbines to generate power because they look like flowers. Warm and cool colours were used when painting the pinwheels to represent warm and cool air currents. The stalks of the pinwheels are bamboo poles.
