Creative Rationale
Over the Arctic Ocean northeast of Finland and northwest of Russia, harsh atmospheric conditions create a dynamic suprematist composition. The moderate wind from the northeast tilts geometric forms at diagonal angles suggesting movement across the frozen landscape, while the low sea-level pressure manifests as fewer but more substantial shapes dominating the white expanse. The near-freezing temperature and high humidity drive a palette of deep blacks and blues, with small scattered rectangles representing the light precipitation falling like geometric snow across this polar wilderness.
