East Asia

Creative rationale

Over the Sea of Japan between northeastern China and the Russian Far East, a low pressure system churns with moderate winds and high humidity, bringing light precipitation to the coastal regions. The extremely cold temperatures with a notable warm anomaly create a dynamic atmospheric tension that I've interpreted through Francis's signature edge-pooling technique, where vibrant cadmium reds and ultramarines accumulate at the canvas borders while the center remains luminously open. The moderate wind energy drives organic splatters inward from these color pools, while the high humidity adds layers of translucent washes that soften and blend the edges.
