South America 60s 60w

Creative Rationale

This location corresponds to the stormy waters of the Drake Passage between South America and Antarctica, one of Earth's most turbulent maritime regions. The extremely cold temperature anomaly and low pressure system create a sense of profound isolation and elemental force, which I interpret through deep, brooding color fields reminiscent of Rothko's most contemplative works. The moderate wind and high humidity generate soft, glowing boundaries between two massive horizontal bands that seem to breathe with the rhythm of Antarctic storms.
