Welcome back to the gallery!
With the series Piscine (Pools, 2020), created during the lockdown, the gaze shifts from above to below. Swimming pools emptied of water and human presence are transformed into silent surfaces traversed by cool gradients of gray, purple, dark green, and blue. The atmosphere appears nocturnal and suspended, far removed from the luminous imagery of the swimming pool. The absence of figures accentuates a sense of distance, as if these places were observed through a digital memory or a satellite view. Here, movement fades into a melancholic drift: what was once the joyful run of Balla’s little girl becomes waiting, stillness, and residual trace. - Sharon Hecker
