Creative Rationale
Over the Arctic Ocean north of Siberia, where the Laptev Sea meets the polar ice, extreme cold grips this remote coordinate at 70°N, 140°E. The low atmospheric pressure creates a sparse composition with fewer, more dominant geometric forms, while the bitter -6.3K temperature demands deep blacks and blues against the white void. The gentle 1.1 m/s wind from the southeast introduces subtle diagonal tensions, with shapes tilted at shallow angles suggesting slow drift across the frozen landscape.
