Creative Rationale

Over the Southern Ocean at 60 degrees south latitude, directly south of the Greenwich Meridian, lies one of Earth's most dynamic and isolated marine regions where the Antarctic Circumpolar Current drives endless storms around the continent. The extremely cold temperature anomaly and low pressure system create a memory of steel-grey Antarctic light, while the high humidity without precipitation suggests moisture-laden air hovering at the edge of release. The moderate southwest wind pulls gestural marks diagonally across the composition, creating elongated clusters that accumulate like storm formations against a darkened ground that reflects the low atmospheric pressure.
