“[In Bloom] explores the open-ended possibilities of making meaning when one's own history and identity is in flux and undetermined. To further explore the potential of this unknown, Deep Pool disrupts entrenched perceptions...through photographs... and architectural interventions... Deep Pool stages these clichés in unexpected ways to reframe the ways they can be interpreted. The resulting ambiguity upends a reliance on fixed assumptions and instead distills a vernacular signified by fluidity, self-determination and shifting conceptions of place.”

“In Dreaming in Black and White, Deep Pool interrogates the expectations we bring to the experience of identity and the construction of personhood, braiding paradoxical strategies of irony and pleasure, of deconstructivist critique and romantic transcendence, into dissonant portraits of awkwardness, eroticism, melancholy, comedy, and contemplation. Deep Pool’s work recognizes the power of categorization to excite and compel us, to tempt us with the promise of knowing, while it simultaneously makes evident the ways in which life and world will innately exceed and relentlessly disrupt the grasp of social categorical controls... and ultimately through... a way to account for the impossibility of capturing the whole of ourselves.”-Morgan Võ
“Sungazing presents a suite of [works] by Deep Pool together with a live sound performance by Ulla Straus and Pontiac Streator. Gazing into the sun evokes simultaneous feelings of warmth and longing, danger and mysticism... The works in Sungazing reverberate with the strangeness and simplicity of this practice, hinging on a shared desire for transformation and connection within self and community...”
