Arctic 60n 70w
Creative Rationale
Over the Labrador Sea in the Canadian Arctic, where frigid air masses collide with maritime influences, the extreme cold temperature of -11.6K creates a profoundly contemplative and somber mood demanding deep blues and blacks reminiscent of Rothko's most introspective period. The high pressure system translates into three distinct horizontal bands with breathing space between them, while the moderate wind from the southwest creates gentle vibrations along the edges, and the high humidity of 89% infuses the dark colors with an inner luminosity that seems to glow against the Arctic darkness.
