Creative Rationale

Above the Arctic Ocean northeast of the Scandinavian Peninsula, extreme cold meets rising pressure in a landscape of stark contrasts. The significant temperature anomaly and moderate pressure gradient suggest layers of atmospheric turbulence that translate into dense, worked surfaces where fragments of warmer moments break through the dominant cold palette. The gentle wind creates subtle directional marks beneath accumulated layers, while moderate humidity allows earlier painted histories to ghost through subsequent applications.
