POOL is a series of underwater photographs captured across The United States, documenting the country from the bottom of its swimming pools, looking up to the sky.

Pools are iconic. A place of leisure and carelessness, they rhyme with fun and lush. But they also underscores the potential drawbacks associated with these desires in terms of sustainability and resource consumption. This ambiguity makes it a fascinating subject.

Ovid’s fable of Narcissus stands as a timeless exploration of self-absorption and its consequences. At the heart of the story lies a reflective pool, a mirror-like surface that beckons Narcissus into the depths of his own image. MarieVic’s project invites Narcissus’ reflection to express its point of view, across the United States.

The series presents a distorted reality that enhances the disturbing effects of consumerism on the American landscape and presents a world that operates by its own set of rules.
