Arctic 60n 130w

Creative Rationale

Above the Canadian Arctic archipelago in the Beaufort Sea region, where extreme cold meets high humidity in a landscape of ice and tundra. The extraordinarily low temperature of 1 Kelvin drives a stark black-and-white optical composition reminiscent of Riley's early geometric work, while the gentle wind speed creates slow, wide undulations that flow from southwest to northeast. The high pressure gradient translates into tightly packed parallel lines that seem to vibrate and pulse across the arctic expanse.
