Creative rationale

Over the waters east of Japan in the North Pacific, moderate winds from the east create a rhythmic pulse while high sea-level pressure lifts the composition skyward. The extremely cold temperature anomaly translates into sharp, crystalline forms and thin linear elements that cut across the canvas like high-pitched notes. The moderate humidity and clear skies allow for crisp geometric interactions, while the easterly wind direction establishes a left-to-right diagonal momentum through the entire piece.
