Original artwork description:

I just like pools and diving into them.. but more than I am drawn to depictions of leisure as beach or pool is a place where people are partly naked yet unaware and in a 'natural' setting
so in some way this subject matter is timeless. I am drawn on the other hand to a nostalgic pleasure and it is difficult for me to separate the two, nostalgia from the depiction of pleasure if not impossible. This intersection is what I find interesting.

Materials used:

paper, graphite, acrylic
