Arctic 60n 140e

Creative Rationale

Over the Chukchi Sea in the Arctic Ocean, north of eastern Siberia, a powerful low-pressure system churns through the polar darkness. The extreme low pressure of 934.9 Pa creates a dense, gravitational pull in the composition, while moderate winds from the east drive horizontal stratifications across the canvas. The surprisingly warm temperature anomaly of 15K above normal, combined with near-saturated humidity, manifests as layered veils of color that obscure and reveal underlying geometric structures, creating Tannahill's characteristic palimpsest effect where memory and immediate sensation blur together.
