Arctic

Creative rationale

Over the Northwest Territories of Canada, near the Arctic Ocean where extreme cold meets high humidity, this composition captures the tension between the severe -13°C temperature and the saturated 96% humidity through layers of crystalline forms and flowing organic shapes. The low pressure system creates dense, overlapping textures that accumulate like ice formations, while the gentle 2.1 m/s wind introduces subtle directional movement through elongated gestural marks. The temperature anomaly of 25.7°C above normal translates into unexpected warm undertones breaking through the dominant cool palette, creating an intuitive color relationship that reflects this atmospheric contradiction.
