This photography project draws its inspiration from an iconic location: the Jean Bron swimming pool in Grenoble, France. Nestled in the heart of the Alpine landscape, this aquatic space transcends its primary function, transforming into a vibrant microcosm of urban life.
The pool’s waters become a stage for an electrifying symphony of dives, joyful splashes, and spontaneous play interweave to create a dynamic and ever-changing scene. It is a visual reflection on coexistence, spontaneity, and the fleeting moments that bind people together, forming an ephemeral yet powerful sense of community.
