Creative Rationale
Over the Arctic Ocean northwest of Iceland, where frigid winds carve through the polar atmosphere, this composition captures the dynamic tension of a warming anomaly disrupting the frozen landscape. The moderate wind speed from the northeast creates diagonal trajectories across the canvas, while the unusually high temperature for this arctic location manifests as bold red and yellow geometric forms breaking through the dominant cold blues and blacks. The high humidity and light precipitation add scattered rectangular elements that fall like geometric snow through the suprematist space.
