Creative Rationale

Over the Arctic archipelago near Baffin Island, where ice meets open water in the Canadian Arctic, a significant temperature anomaly creates an atmospheric tension that mirrors the collision of memory and forgetting. The steep pressure gradient and near-saturated humidity demand a composition of dense archaeological layers where earlier gestural marks breathe through successive veils of translucent paint, while the moderate wind from the northeast carves scrubbed, directional energy beneath more contemplative upper layers.
