The canvas cover on this pool is designed to keep the water clean and wandering kids and animals out. I saw it as a canvas for symbolism. The diving board breaks into the curve of the pool, and suggests that we dive into the future. The future is symbolized by the shadow of a tree. Its darkness is mysterious, yet its outstretched limbs lead us onward. The deeper we move into this image, the darker and more impenetrable it becomes. Very much like life itself.
