Creative rationale

Over the Southern Ocean at 60 degrees south latitude, directly south of the Atlantic basin, fierce Antarctic winds sweep across the icy waters in this remote and desolate region. The high pressure system creates dispersed, airy marks that drift westward with the moderate wind speed, while the extreme cold temperature drives a stark palette of silver-white calligraphic gestures against deep blue-black atmospheric fields. The near-saturated humidity veils the composition in misty layers, softening the delicate marks into ethereal processions that echo Lewis's jazz-inflected abstractions.
