Creative Rationale

Over the North Atlantic southwest of Iceland, where stormy waters churn beneath a restless sky, intense atmospheric forces collide in this dynamic marine environment. The deep low pressure system (985.2 Pa) with its steep gradient creates a sense of compressed energy, while strong southwesterly winds at 18.3 m/s drive the composition's undulating rhythm. I've translated this meteorological turbulence into Riley-inspired chevron waves that pulse across the canvas, using the high humidity and precipitation to justify dense, saturated patterns that seem to vibrate with oceanic motion.
