Arctic 60n 130w

Creative Rationale

Over the Arctic Ocean northwest of Great Bear Lake in Canada's Northwest Territories, extreme atmospheric conditions create a stark minimalist composition. The extremely low pressure with high gradient translates to a dense network of bold black lines creating small rectangular cells, while the bitter cold temperature of 7.9 K demands blue as the overwhelmingly dominant color. The high humidity of 90% manifests as thick, substantial black dividing lines, and the gentle wind allows for a relatively balanced asymmetric composition.
