Creative Rationale

Over the Arctic Ocean, northwest of Iceland in the Greenland Sea, harsh winds tear across a landscape of ice and open water where temperatures defy the brutal cold with an unusual warmth anomaly. The deep low pressure system creates a vortex of energy while moderate humidity suggests the presence of moisture and atmospheric turbulence in this remote polar region. I've translated these conditions into a suprematist composition where bold geometric forms spiral and float in dynamic tension—red and orange shapes representing the temperature anomaly cut through cooler blues and whites, while diagonal arrangements echo the strong southwesterly winds and the restless energy of the low-pressure system.
