Pool Jump

Pool Jump captures the fleeting moments in which anticipation, excitement and uncertainty come together.

Rendered in charcoal, the drawings explore the relationship between movement, time and the anticipation of what happens next. Swimming pools provide a familiar setting associated with leisure, freedom and escape, while the act of jumping introduces an element of risk and exhilaration.

There is a particular excitement in the moment when we commit ourselves to an action without knowing exactly how it will unfold. For an instant, we are suspended between expectation and experience.

Through the meticulous use of charcoal, the drawings transform these passing moments into something lasting. The contrast between the physical energy of the subject and the stillness of the image invites viewers to linger over something that would ordinarily disappear in a fraction of a second.

Pool Jump is ultimately a celebration of those brief moments when we surrender to excitement, embrace uncertainty and allow ourselves to enjoy the experience.
