Arctic 60n 70w
Creative Rationale
Over the Labrador Sea in the Canadian Arctic, where frigid temperatures and high humidity create an atmosphere of stark precision. The extreme cold of -22.9K drives me toward Riley's early black-and-white optical work, while the moderate wind speed of 4.5 m/s from the west creates controlled undulations flowing horizontally across the canvas. The significant pressure gradient generates tightly packed parallel lines that vibrate with mathematical precision, and the near-perfect humidity adds a subtle gradient progression from pure black through grays to white.
