Arctic 60n 70w
Creative Rationale
Over the Labrador Sea in the Canadian Arctic, where icy waters meet the barren coastline of Baffin Island, extreme cold dominates this desolate landscape. The temperature anomaly of 36.7 K above the zonal mean suggests an unusual warming event in this frigid region, while the high humidity and moderate wind create an atmosphere of heavy, moisture-laden air. I've translated this into deep, contemplative bands of ultramarine and prussian blue that glow with internal luminosity, their soft edges vibrating from the wind's influence, creating Rothko's signature sense of floating, weightless color that seems to breathe with the arctic atmosphere.
