Over the past few years, I have been working on a POOL series - including pools with and without swimmers and/or water. As I worked on this series during COVID, I became intrigued by the idea of entropy and dissolution of both the swimmers and the pool environments. It felt reflective of the isolation and abandonment of life as we knew it as a result of the pandemic. The swimmers plunge into or emerge out of the water, like the constantly changing moments in any given day; the effort to swim up and out and to breathe. Or wander in search of their purpose, a sense of languor and loss. This piece represents my response.
