Creative Rationale

Over the Southern Ocean at 60 degrees south latitude on the Prime Meridian, this location sits in the stormy waters between Antarctica and the southern tips of Africa, where fierce westerly winds circle the globe unimpeded by land. The moderate wind speed of 8.9 m/s from the northwest, combined with very high humidity and light precipitation, creates a dynamic yet moisture-laden atmosphere that I've interpreted through densely packed, overlapping circles in cool blues and whites. The relatively low pressure and temperature anomaly inspire a composition where Kusama's signature dots seem to swirl and cluster like water droplets in the maritime air, with varying sizes and opacities suggesting the infinite patterns of ocean spray and atmospheric turbulence.
