Region 45°S, 0°E

Creative rationale

Over the Southern Ocean at 45 degrees south latitude along the Prime Meridian, where the roaring forties meet the vast Antarctic waters, atmospheric forces create a mystical dance of pressure and wind. The moderate pressure of 994.8 hPa manifests as medium-scale sacred circles, while the strong westerly wind at 13.6 m/s from 251 degrees generates tight clockwise spirals that echo the cyclonic systems common to these latitudes. The cold temperature of 6.9°C calls for soft ethereal pastels dominating the composition, punctuated by sacred gold elements, while the 70% humidity brings forth flowing botanical forms that merge the geometric with the organic in true af Klint fashion.
