Over the Southern Ocean at 60 degrees south latitude, directly south of the Greenwich meridian, frigid Antarctic waters churn under powerful westerly winds. The extreme temperature anomaly of 30.9°C above normal creates an otherworldly atmospheric tension, while the low pressure system drives turbulent air masses across this remote polar seascape. I interpret this meteorological drama through Lewis's calligraphic language: dense processions of white and silver marks surge horizontally across a deep blue-black ground, their clustering intensified by the 13.5 m/s winds, while the high humidity softens everything into misty, atmospheric veils that suggest the strange warmth bleeding into this icy realm.
