FALLOW: Public land in suspension

FALLOW considers how public infrastructure is sustained and how shared spaces shape collective life. Public pools have long reflected broader systems of access and exclusion, shaped by class, race, and geography. Though designed for collective use, they are governed by invisible boundaries: who can reach them, who feels welcome, and who is left out. In their emptiness, these pools quietly reflect those histories.

FALLOW does not present these spaces as ruins or as nostalgic symbols. Instead, it reflects on how shared spaces are managed, how access is controlled, and how places designed for collective use persist when that use is temporarily withdrawn.
