Creative Rationale
Over the Southern Ocean at 60 degrees south latitude along the Prime Meridian, where the Antarctic Circumpolar Current churns through some of Earth's most turbulent waters. The moderate low pressure system (998.7 Pa) with strong westerly winds at 11.1 m/s creates a dynamic composition of swirling color masses that pool at the canvas edges, while the high humidity of 87% and near-freezing temperatures inspire saturated blues and purples punctuated by warm golden bursts representing the significant temperature anomaly. Following Sam Francis's aesthetic of energetic color fields with breathing space, I've created flowing organic forms that spiral outward from multiple centers, leaving luminous negative space to suggest the vast openness of these remote southern waters.
