Western Pacific 15n 160e

Creative Rationale

Above the vast Western Pacific, far from any landmass at 15°N 160°E, warm tropical air carries high humidity and light precipitation across endless ocean swells. The moderate pressure and steady easterly winds of 14 m/s create conditions ripe for the kind of atmospheric memory that Joan Mitchell would translate into dense, saturated color clusters floating against luminous ground. I'll interpret the warmth through vibrant cadmium yellows and oranges, the high humidity through overlapping gestural marks, and the steady wind through elongated diagonal passages that suggest movement across this remote seascape.
