Arctic 60n 0e

Creative Rationale

Over the Arctic Ocean at the intersection of the Prime Meridian and 60°N latitude, frigid conditions with an extreme temperature anomaly create a stark, crystalline atmosphere. The moderate wind from the northwest and steady pressure gradient translate into Riley's signature black-and-white optical patterns - precise undulating lines that create the illusion of arctic winds made visible. The 6.3 m/s wind speed generates medium-frequency wave patterns that seem to shimmer and vibrate across the canvas like heat mirages over frozen terrain.
