Arctic 60n 70w

Creative Rationale

Over the Canadian Arctic Archipelago northeast of Baffin Island, extreme cold meets high atmospheric pressure in a landscape of stark beauty and isolation. The bitter -24°C temperature with its significant anomaly drives a palette of deep indigos and crystalline whites, while the high pressure of 1027 Pa creates dense, weighty forms that seem to press down like compressed ice sheets. The gentle 2.7 m/s wind from the southwest brings subtle movement through the composition, and the high humidity of 85% adds layered, translucent textures that suggest the moisture-laden air of this polar environment.
