Arctic 70n 60e

Creative Rationale

Over the Arctic Ocean northeast of the Ural Mountains, where Siberian winds clash with polar maritime air masses, extreme cold meets high humidity in a dance of crystalline energy. The significant temperature anomaly and moderate winds inspire explosive bursts of icy blues and whites radiating from concentrated centers, while the high humidity creates soft, diffused edges that blend into luminous negative space. Following Sam Francis's approach to energetic color pooling, I've created dynamic splatters that suggest both the violence of arctic storms and the serene vastness of polar ice fields.
