Arctic 60n 70w

Creative Rationale

Over the Arctic Ocean northeast of Baffin Bay, where Greenland's ice meets the frigid polar waters, extreme atmospheric conditions create a landscape of perpetual winter. The crushing low pressure system and fierce winds from the northeast drive my composition toward dynamic diagonal arrangements of geometric forms, while the extreme cold and near-complete humidity manifest as stark contrasts between deep arctic blues and the brilliant whites of ice and snow. The moderate precipitation adds texture through layered transparency effects that suggest the constant dance of snow and wind across this desolate seascape.
