Creative Rationale
Over the Drake Passage between South America and Antarctica, where fierce westerly winds howl through one of the world's most turbulent maritime regions. The extremely high humidity and active precipitation combine with strong winds from the northwest to create a suprematist composition of bold geometric forms caught in diagonal flight across the white void. The low pressure system drives a sparse but heavy arrangement of shapes, while the cold temperature anomaly manifests in dominant blacks and deep blues, punctuated by scattered red and yellow forms suggesting the dynamic energy of this remote polar convergence zone.
