Arctic

Creative rationale

Over the Arctic Ocean north of Alaska at 70°N, 140°E, this frozen seascape experiences low atmospheric pressure with moderate winds from the southeast and extremely cold temperatures, though warmer than typical for this latitude. The low pressure of 958 hPa creates a sparse composition with fewer, weightier geometric forms dominating the white void, while the 2.3 m/s wind from 157 degrees tilts these suprematist shapes at subtle diagonal angles. The frigid -8.8°C temperature drives the palette toward deep blacks and blues, with the high 87% humidity adding density to the floating geometric elements without precipitation to scatter smaller forms across the canvas.
