Region 60°S, 0°E

Creative rationale

Over the Southern Ocean in the Antarctic region at 60 degrees south latitude, powerful westerly winds carve through the atmosphere while relatively low pressure creates turbulent conditions. The intense cold is offset by an unusually warm anomaly, creating dynamic thermal contrasts that I've translated into explosive bursts of muted earth tones and icy blues radiating outward from scattered centers. The high humidity and moderate wind speed inspire dense, saturated color pools that splash toward the canvas edges while leaving luminous breathing space, echoing Sam Francis's approach to balancing energetic gesture with contemplative void.
