Pool/Side by @helloakima | exhibit columbus | august ‘25

Pool/Side introduces a shallow pool and elevated seating platform as both infrastructure and socio-cultural artifact at the Cleo Rogers Memorial Library Plaza. Drawing inspiration from modernist principles, the project acknowledges the deeper social histories embedded in architectural facades and building materials. This installation reimagines key elements of modern architecture-reflection pools, sunken courtyards, conversation pits, and plinths-as tools for exploring themes of resilience, cultural identity, and exclusion.

As a space for gathering, rest, performance, play, and reflection, Pool/Side seeks to reclaim these spatial typologies through a lens of inclusivity, imagination, and historical acknowledgment. It challenges visitors to reconsider the boundaries of public spaces and adequacy of infrastructure.
