This series explores leisure spaces through the language of geometry, transforming swimming pools into abstract compositions of form, color, and structure.



Viewed from above, familiar environments lose their function and become visual systems — circles, grids, and modular shapes where human presence turns into part of the pattern rather than its subject. People are no longer individuals but elements within a controlled composition, interacting with space in subtle and often unintentional ways.



The work reflects on the contrast between order and spontaneity: rigid architectural design versus the unpredictable movement of the human body. These spaces, designed for relaxation and escape, reveal an underlying structure that quietly organizes behavior.



By reducing perspective and isolating form, the series invites the viewer to see everyday leisure as a study of balance — between control and freedom, geometry and life.
