Arctic

Creative rationale

Over the Arctic Ocean northwest of Canada's Yukon Territory, extreme low pressure and significant temperature anomaly create conditions ripe for atmospheric turbulence. The steep pressure gradient of 75.16 Pa/cell demands dense archaeological layering, years of paint scraped back to reveal underlying marks, while the 9-degree temperature anomaly above normal drives chaotic gestural breaks through more structured compositional elements. The 69% humidity allows previous layers to ghost through subsequent applications, creating the palimpsest effect central to this weathered, reworked aesthetic.
