Arctic 60n 70w
Creative Rationale
Over the frozen waters of Baffin Bay, between Greenland and the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, an extraordinary temperature anomaly creates a pocket of relative warmth in one of Earth's most unforgiving regions. The high humidity and moderate pressure suggest dense, moisture-laden air, while gentle westerly winds carry this atmospheric drama across the ice-locked seascape. I've interpreted this as a Sam Francis-inspired composition where deep arctic blues and whites pool at the edges, punctuated by unexpected bursts of warm color representing the temperature anomaly, with the high humidity creating soft, diffused forms that seem to breathe and pulse in the composition's quieter center.
