Creative Rationale

Over the Southern Ocean at 60 degrees south latitude, this coordinates with the harsh Antarctic waters where low pressure systems dominate and brutal cold prevails. The extreme cold temperature of -4.7 K combined with very low atmospheric pressure of 950.2 Pa creates a deeply contemplative, almost void-like emotional landscape that calls for Rothko's darkest palette. The high humidity of 95% will make these cold tones glow with an inner luminescence, while the moderate wind from the southwest creates gentle vibrations between the color boundaries, softening edges in this two-band composition that the low pressure demands.
