Creative Rationale
Over the Labrador Sea between Greenland and northern Canada, this arctic location experiences intense cold with high atmospheric pressure creating a sense of crystalline clarity and weight. The moderate northerly wind and extreme cold temperatures inspire a composition of deep, substantial circular forms that seem to float upward due to the high pressure, while the frigid conditions manifest as thick, bass-note geometries in deep blues and blacks. The wind's northerly direction establishes a subtle upward diagonal movement throughout the piece, creating a visual symphony of arctic stillness punctuated by geometric rhythms.
