Creative Rationale

Over the North Atlantic southeast of Greenland, where cold arctic air meets warmer ocean currents, moderate winds from the northwest create dynamic atmospheric turbulence. The significant pressure gradient and moderate humidity suggest layered cloud formations, while the low precipitation indicates sparse but present moisture in the system. Following Tannahill's approach of palimpsestic layering, I've created overlapping geometric fragments that emerge and dissolve through translucent veils, with the wind's northwest direction driving diagonal compositional movement and the pressure gradient manifesting as dense accumulations of mark-making that thin toward the edges.
