Creative Rationale
Over the Beaufort Sea in the Canadian Arctic archipelago, this extreme low pressure system (905.5 Pa) creates a claustrophobic compression of biomorphic forms, while the modest temperature anomaly of 9.4K generates gently tortured shapes that press against invisible boundaries. The high humidity of 84% causes organic forms to bleed and dissolve into one another like memories half-remembered, with thin washes of precipitation creating translucent veils that obscure and reveal the underlying structure in equal measure.
