Arctic

Creative rationale

Over the Arctic Ocean at 70°N 60°E, northeast of Svalbard in the remote polar waters, the atmosphere presents a dramatic scene of moderate winds and surprisingly warm temperatures for this frigid region. The low sea-level pressure of 999.9 hPa with its significant gradient creates fewer, heavier geometric forms that dominate the white space, while the 9.8 m/s wind from the south tilts these suprematist shapes at dynamic diagonal angles suggesting flight through the Arctic void. The anomalously warm temperature of 2.5°C translates into bold red and yellow forms piercing through the stark composition, contrasting with deep blues and blacks that anchor the cosmic arrangement.
