Arctic 60n 70w
Creative Rationale
Over the Labrador Sea in the high Arctic, where Greenland's ice meets the frigid waters, extreme cold dominates this polar landscape. The high pressure system creates a sense of atmospheric weight, while moderate winds from the west-southwest generate dynamic movement across the composition. Drawing from Sam Francis's late period aesthetic, I've created pools of deep Arctic blues and crystalline whites that gather at the composition's edges, leaving luminous breathing space in the center to represent the stark, open polar environment.
