Region 45°S, 0°E

Creative rationale

This location sits in the Southern Ocean at 45 degrees south latitude on the Prime Meridian, in the turbulent waters between South Africa and Antarctica. The moderate wind speed of 10.9 m/s creates a staccato rhythm of medium-sized geometric elements, while the near-normal sea-level pressure allows shapes to float in balanced suspension across the canvas. The cold temperature of 3.5°C manifests as deep, weighty circular forms and thick rectangular blocks, with the west-northwest wind direction establishing a diagonal flow from upper right toward lower left.
