Over the frozen waters of Baffin Bay, where the Arctic Ocean meets the eastern Canadian archipelago, an unusual warmth disrupts the typical polar equilibrium. The temperature anomaly of 11.2°C above normal, combined with the high humidity of 90% and moderate pressure gradient, creates an otherworldly atmospheric dance that I interpret through Hilma af Klint's mystical lens. The gentle wind from the southwest generates open, flowing spirals in soft pastels, while the temperature anomaly introduces touches of deeper jewel tones breaking through the ethereal arctic palette, and the high humidity manifests as organic, botanical forms that seem to breathe and pulse with sacred geometry.
