Creative Rationale

Over the Arctic Ocean at the intersection of the Prime Meridian and 60°N latitude, extreme cold meets moderate wind in a harsh polar environment. The brutally low temperature of 8.9 Kelvin drives a palette dominated by icy whites, steel greys, and ivory blacks, while the 12.5 m/s wind from the southeast creates aggressive diagonal slashes cutting across the canvas. The high humidity and low pressure compress forms against the picture plane, generating the violent, physical energy of paint flung with bodily force across a frozen wasteland.
