Creative Rationale

Over the Southern Ocean in the subantarctic waters between South America and Antarctica, this region experiences the relentless westerly winds known as the "Roaring Forties" but displaced further south. The moderate wind speed of 12.9 m/s from the southwest creates a driving staccato rhythm of small dynamic shapes moving diagonally across the composition, while the low sea-level pressure of 990.7 Pa anchors heavy geometric forms toward the bottom of the canvas. The extremely cold temperature of -1.4 K translates into deep bass circles and thick rectangular forms in muted tones, contrasting with sharp triangular accents that represent the harsh Antarctic conditions.
