CONFLUXUS - Scott Ponik
Growing up in Southern California, my family had a pool. This was during a time of economic recession, and more sources of alternative energy were becoming available. Our family invested in a cover that heated the pool by some basic solar technology, a plastic cover.
What I like about these covered pools now is their resemblance to minimal sculptures. While I've been collecting these images, I recently came across one with an elephant standing on a cover, demonstrating safety, and also maybe a sign of a new economy. This image became the center piece of a story about two unrelated things meeting in an unexpected place: a swimming pool.
