Maritime Continent

Creative rationale

Over the Tasman Sea southeast of Australia, where moderate winds sweep across relatively high pressure systems, I interpret the atmospheric data through Lewis's calligraphic abstraction. The moderate wind speed of 10.6 m/s creates rhythmic processions of gestural marks flowing from southeast to northwest, while the high pressure of 1022.3 hPa disperses these marks across an airy, breathing ground. The cool temperature of 14.8°C and high humidity of 85% generate a palette of deep blue-blacks and silvery whites with misty atmospheric veiling that softens the delicate linear notations into jazz-like improvisations across the maritime expanse.
