Creative Rationale

Over the Southern Ocean southeast of the Kerguelen Islands, harsh atmospheric conditions create a dynamic weather system with moderate pressure gradients and strong westerly winds. The significant pressure gradient of 13.95 Pa/cell translates into a dense network of black grid lines creating smaller rectangular cells, while the strong 13.2 m/s wind from the southwest pushes the composition's weight dramatically toward the right side of the canvas. The extremely cold temperature anomaly makes blue the dominant primary color, with thick black lines reflecting the 69% humidity of this stormy maritime environment.
