Creative Rationale
Over the Arctic Ocean at 70°N, 20°W, this location sits in the harsh polar waters between Greenland and Svalbard, where ice meets open sea. The moderate wind from the northeast creates gentle diagonal movements in the composition, while the high pressure system generates a scattered field of geometric forms across the white void. The below-freezing temperature despite being anomalously warm for the region translates into predominantly black and deep blue shapes, with the extremely high humidity adding density to the arrangement without precipitation elements.
