Arctic 60n 70w
Creative Rationale
Over the frozen expanse of Baffin Bay, where arctic waters meet the western shores of Greenland, an extreme cold snap grips the landscape with temperatures plunging far below the seasonal average. The moderate wind from the southwest carries crystalline air across this desolate seascape, while high pressure creates a heavy, dense atmosphere that seems to press down on the ice-covered waters. I've translated these harsh conditions into a composition of jagged, layered forms that build upward like pressure ridges in sea ice, using deep blues and stark whites punctuated by sudden bursts of warm ochre—representing the temperature anomaly as fierce thermal energy breaking through the arctic silence.
