ITCZ is a series of photographs of the International Tropical Convergence Zone. The ITCZ is an area of convergence between the tropical winds of the Northern and Southern hemispheres, circling the Earth around the equator. The annual rhythm of this band of intense heat and humidity gives rise to cumulous cloud formations and perpetual thunderstorms. This region has historically been associated with sensual evocations of geography.
