Creative Rationale
Over the Arctic Ocean west of Greenland, harsh winds carve through the crystalline air while an unusual warm anomaly disrupts the polar landscape. The high pressure gradient and strong northerly winds inspire densely layered compositions that emerge and dissolve like memory fragments, while the temperature anomaly manifests as warm undertones bleeding through cooler surface layers. Following Tannahill's palimpsest approach, earlier geometric forms show through subsequent layers, creating a visual tension between the chaotic atmospheric forces and the structured geometry of thought.
