Bottom of the Pool 2

Drawing on the allegory of American consciousness through the use of iconic characters, O’Connor’s work is derived from a combination of memory, fantasy, and pop culture. Her art exposes complexities behind the thin public façades that we readily embrace. In Bottom of the Pool 2, we see the pool represented by green hexagons, implying the water had been colonized by algae. The columns juxtopose the color of the water. The old and the new clash in this digital collage.
