L.A. Pool, 2020-2021
In March of 2020, I moved to LA from the East coast, to live in the isolation of quarantine. I began to explore the intense California light and a new palette of color. My project became the unique quality of light and reflection occurring on the surface of my landlord's pool, the one space I could safely be.
Some of photographs are asymmetrical mirror images made using the pool's reflective surfaces to create an echo of the scene around it. Others border on abstraction. Situated in between the mystery of internal space and façade, L. A. Pool depicts a confined world, it is my photographic story of quarantine. It is meditation on the deep internal space in which I was living and the external space that had all but disappeared.
