Creative Rationale

Over the western Pacific Ocean near the equator and east of the Philippines, moderate winds swirl through humid tropical air above warming seas. The relatively low pressure and high humidity create an atmosphere ripe with moisture, while the significant temperature anomaly suggests dynamic thermal activity in this oceanic region. I've interpreted this as Francis-inspired color pools that concentrate along the edges—deep blues and teals representing the oceanic pressure system, with warm coral and orange bursts reflecting the temperature anomaly, all connected by flowing gestural marks that follow the northwest wind direction.
