Creative Rationale

Over the Southern Ocean at 60 degrees south latitude, directly south of the Atlantic-Indian Ocean boundary, fierce westerly winds carve through a landscape of perpetual storm systems and towering swells. The moderate low pressure system with its strong 15.4 m/s winds from the southwest creates a composition of dynamic, diagonal sweeping gestures that slice through dense atmospheric layers, while the surprisingly warm temperature anomaly of 12.9K above normal generates unexpected bursts of saturated color emerging from the typically austere Antarctic palette. Following Tannahill's approach to palimpsestic layering, I've built up translucent geometric fragments that reference both the crystalline structure of ice and the fluid dynamics of wind shear, with earlier pale marks showing through later intense color fields to suggest the complex interplay between memory and immediate sensation in this remote maritime environment.
