Arctic 70n 60e

Creative Rationale

Over the Arctic Ocean north of the Kara Sea, where the extreme cold meets surprisingly high humidity and gentle precipitation, atmospheric forces create a compelling visual tension. The moderate wind from the east-northeast drives rhythmic movement through the composition, while the low pressure system generates dense, overlapping layers that echo Tannahill's palimpsest approach. The extreme temperature anomaly translates into stark contrasts between ice-blue depths and warmer earth tones, with the high humidity creating soft, diffused edges where forms emerge and dissolve into abstract fields of memory and cognition.
