Creative Rationale

Over the North Atlantic Ocean, roughly southwest of Iceland in the turbulent waters between Greenland and the British Isles, powerful winds slice through moisture-laden air under a deepening low pressure system. The moderate wind speeds and high humidity create a dynamic atmospheric canvas, while the temperature anomaly suggests complex thermal interactions typical of this maritime region. I've interpreted this as layered, gestural forms that sweep across the composition - the wind's northwest direction drives diagonal movement, while the high humidity manifests as translucent, overlapping washes that build textural density through accumulated mark-making.
