Summer Is Here—Let’s Meet at the Pool is a book that explores the blurred boundary between private and public space in the setting of public swimming pools. In these shared environments, bodily exposure becomes normalized—people undress in locker rooms and wear minimal swimwear in front of others, navigating an uneasy balance between intimacy and collectivity.



The book is divided into two parts:

Part I: Private Space (Blue Grids)
Each spread is preceded by a hand-cut page with precisely carved openings that highlight specific parts of the body—those usually considered the most private. This physical intervention draws attention to how deeply personal areas are openly displayed and quietly accepted in the context of public bathing.

Part II: Public Space (Orange Grids)
In this section, boundaries between private and public begin to blur. The notion of privacy still lingers, but it fades into the shared environment—suggesting a soft, uneasy coexistence between exposure and everyday life.
