Arctic 60n 130w

Creative Rationale

Over the Arctic Ocean northwest of Canada's Yukon Territory, where the Beaufort Sea meets the pack ice, an extraordinary atmospheric phenomenon unfolds. The extremely low pressure of 887 Pa creates vast encompassing sacred geometries, while the gentle southwest wind at 2.3 m/s opens these forms into broad, contemplative spirals. The frigid temperature of 1.5 K calls forth Hilma af Klint's most ethereal pastels, yet the high humidity of 84% transforms these into flowing, biomorphic botanical forms that seem to breathe with organic life.
