Creative Rationale
Over the Greenland Sea in the high Arctic, where sea ice meets open water under the polar night, extreme atmospheric conditions create a landscape of memory and erasure. The significant pressure gradient translates into dense archaeological layers of paint, while the massive temperature anomaly drives chaotic gestural marks breaking through more structured foundations. High humidity ensures these palimpsest layers remain translucent and haunting, like thoughts half-remembered through fog.
