Arctic 70n 140e

Creative Rationale

Over the Arctic Ocean north of Siberia, where the Laptev Sea meets the polar ice, frigid air holds near-saturated moisture in a world of perpetual twilight. The low atmospheric pressure and moderate westerly winds create conditions for gentle precipitation, while the extreme cold drives a palette of deep blue-blacks and stark whites. I interpret this harsh polar environment through Lewis's calligraphic vocabulary: sparse, crystalline marks drift horizontally across a near-black ground like windblown snow or distant Arctic terns, with the high humidity creating soft veils that blur the procession into atmospheric layers.
