Arctic 70n 60e

Creative Rationale

Over the arctic tundra of northern Russia, where the Kara Sea meets frozen wilderness, extreme atmospheric turbulence creates a dramatic weather system with howling winds and crushing low pressure. The bitter cold temperature anomaly of 31 degrees above the zonal mean, combined with near-saturated humidity and moderate wind speeds, suggests a powerful storm system brewing over this desolate polar landscape. I've interpreted this as explosive bursts of icy blues and stark whites radiating from concentrated nodes of energy, with Francis-inspired color pooling at the edges while leaving dynamic negative space for the wind to breathe through the composition.
