Creative Rationale

Over the Arctic Ocean northeast of Baffin Island, where the ice meets endless sky in Canada's remote archipelago, an atmosphere of profound cold and high humidity creates an almost mystical luminosity. The extreme cold temperature with its significant anomaly suggests a rare Arctic phenomenon, while the high humidity and moderate pressure inspire two primary bands of deep, contemplative color that seem to breathe and glow against the vast polar landscape. The northwest wind creates gentle vibrations between the color fields, softening their boundaries into the characteristic Rothko meditation on light emerging from darkness.
