Region 60°S, 0°E

Creative rationale

This location sits in the remote Southern Ocean, roughly 60 degrees south latitude at the prime meridian, in the frigid waters between Antarctica and the southern tips of Africa. The extreme cold of -23.8°C with maximum humidity creates an otherworldly, ethereal atmosphere that demands deep, contemplative blues and blacks reminiscent of Rothko's most introspective works. The moderate wind from the southwest and standard sea-level pressure suggest three softly defined horizontal bands that seem to breathe and pulse with inner luminosity, while the complete saturation creates an almost supernatural glow emanating from within each color field.
